Handforged Santa Belt Buckles

Those are superb!

And you are a very modest metal smith.

Brian, your suggestion of cross and stone symbolism reminded me about a buckle that I made last year when I was first attempting the shadowbox setting of a stone under a dome:

Now THAT'S nice! Someday, Mark...someday (of course, I need a kilt first!)

Oooo... That's really cool!

Love the Christmas themed buckles, too!

My best friend's dad is a professional(and real-bearded) Santa, and I emailed him a link to this thread. One of your buckles would set his already very nice suit over the top!

Well I received my Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer buckle from Tyger in todays post. All I can say is WOW it is just way to cool thanks Mark another job well done.

Gorgeous work, Mark. You don't have to be a Santa to wear something like that.

I agree! I'm as festive (or probably more) than the next man, and I'd certainly wear either of those buckles around the holidays.
