Saint Helens. It is 1 1/2" X 2 3/4" X 3/16" Thanks for looking. chasfire

Is it going on a custom buckle? Either way, ya gotta post that pic! Rich

Rich:

I am going to put a strap buckle(I'm not sure that is what it is called) on the back, so that only the wood shows. So except for the leather belt there will be no difference in looks from the above picture.

I have one now that is similar to what I want to do. It has a piece of Owyhee Picture Jasper for the buckle. I bought it at a garage sale for a quarter.

The pattern of the wood is serene and striking at the same time.
