Like... many rectangular pieces, each slightly curved so that the whole belt
conforms
to the shape of whatever "body" it will go around... let's say, little holes
drilled into
each of the pieces so they can be tied together fancifully with a strong thread
or some
form of tight macrame weaving, you know, like if it's for a woman. Of course
you'd
be considerate of the wood and how it looks, very selective of grain for visual
beauty
and what kind of wood to use. The wood would be as hard as possible such as
Lignum
Vitae (hardest on the planet). You could do other things with the wood such as
bleaching it and then creatively tinting it with translucent colors, maybe
french
polishing it for a super gloss that is deep. Or using a super tough finish such
as
silicone based, like the stuff used on bowling alley lanes, and so forth. You
might
consider using fine needle files to carve designs as well. Who knows. I have
never
done any of this myself mind you. Just some ideas I though up, and I hope this
helps, good luck.
