Mark Masters, or the Elizabethan Sea Dog Morgan the Bald. Owner of Lucky Kraken Krafts handmade luxury leather goods. Divorced dad with son and medieval enthusiasts. Diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia in 2015.
So, I took a while but finally decided to finish my war belt, my device, badge, and motto on it. The panels pieces have been wax hardened as well for extra protection. 10 ounce veg-tan leather. Hand stitched and copper rivets.

Pattern by Richard Wasnock at Dark Horse Workshop.

Leather Binder Clips for largesse. 2 ounce veg-tan leather so as not to stain or leave marks on leather when needed to clamp pieces together for drying, lining up, letting glue set, or any other use that can be thought of. 1½", 32mm, binder clamps.
