I didn't polish this buckle and left the small flaws as they are and gave it an acid bath. Looks pretty antique and handmade :rolleyes:
Since all buckles are handcrafted...each buckle will be slightly different.
The antique buckles receive a protective coating of clear varnish, the polished buckles will receive a layer of anti oxidation varnish and clear varnish.
Hope you like it

I second that. cavscout made me a belt with a similar buckle. I haven't even seen it yet, becasue I'm in Chicago and it is in the mail, but no one ever died from having too many belt buckles.

Where 4 Scotsmen gather there'll usually be a fifth.
7/5 of the world's population have a difficult time with fractions.
The antique left and the polished right (pretty obvious )
The polished buckle still has some minor visual "grain"...It's handcrafted from start to finish and that's visible. A good thing imho...it has character.
I'm still in search for suitable metal wire 4mm thick to make the thorns from. I tried 4mm steel rod, but that's impossible to work with...can't bent it, way too stiff
The weathered buckle will cost $12.50 (4 in stock).
The polished buckle will cost $15.00, sanding and polishing is time consuming (2 in stock).
