Unique hand-made buckles

Post by WojciechMetalwork »

Hello to everyone :)

My hobby began with interest in watches,then I tried to make buckles for them.
I devoted a lot of free time to each of them, trying to make their appearance and satisfaction satisfying me.
It all caused that they were created in single copies, some of them from exotic and hard-to-reach materials such as meteorite, stainless steel Damascus, mammoth bone, timascus, titanium and hand-made by me according to the 17th century Japanese mokume gane technology
Some may remember my work from the old forum, but because the pictures have disappeared I will try to remind some of them
chronologically by creation.

Woj... I have followed your work for many years. Going back to my Risti Lurking days... You are quite the craftsman. I had a piece at one time, but a Friend coaxed it away from me. Big mistake! Let me know if you have a site or if you plan on Blessing HF with your offerings.

Best,

Blane

Thank you @Vesire :)

I make Mokume gane myself from copper and its alloys.
This is what the block of metal looks like after forging.

Having a block of mokume gane ready I can start to make a buckle.

A ready buckle for a 24mm strap made of a material that I previously showed.
