Alex aka Whiteflower's B17 narrow 'swallow' tie, with trims of the nose & tail too. (Good luck in your new life in Amsterdam, feller.)

Mooks' B17 standard.

Here's one I polished off last week, in time for Kam to get it on a birthday-build for his girlfriend. What a nice build it is too, good work Kam. Nice to meet a new forum person through doing their saddle.

It's the first time I'm trimmed the back skirts off one with saddle loops, it actually looks better than I anticipated. This one was my quickest so far, I must be improving ...

Here's Richard's B17N


I used two chain-links on this one as he's a pretty well-built feller. I got to try out my new embossing lettering on this, with his nickname (initials?) BRM. I'm very pleased with the results, although I made the mistake of using too-hot water to soak that area with and this has discoloured the leather a little. Lesson learned.
