Hi guys,
Where would you buy affordable buckles and fittings for belts and suspensions? Also any thoughts on what to use to finish the scabbard after dye has been applied? I hear Lexol cleaner/conditionner is the best choice (and of course it is not easily available in the uk..same old story :) ). ps: A lot a viewing but no feedback at all since I posted these last pictures! Any comments/advice would be greatly appreciated (especially since I can still modify/correct a few stuff before dying the all thing). Cheers, J |
Your work is outstanding! In fact, you're inspiring me to bestir myself and make a similar scabbard for my own Crecy.
As for buckles, try Historic Enterprises. I believe they keep them in stock. For finishing after dye application, you could try Neetsfoot oil (if you can find it in the UK)
