Started leather crafting

A few months ago, I have started leather crafting.
That doesn't relate to my bikes yet.

These became to belt of leather cuffs.
 The cuff is constructed wider part and narrower parts.
 I tried carving. I noticed that I don't like stamping. So above one is only cutting.
 The leather is vegetable tanned one. We can tin it.
 The leather material is called saddle leather, too. It isn't easy to extend it.
Using metal rivet as alternative way of stitching is easy. But I don't like that. I mainly use stitching.
The cuffs fits to my wrist. 6 cm of around of wrist is minimum.
I made a pair of hand cuff for the first time.
