Guitar Strap

Recommended Posts

A friend of mine called me up and said he needed a new guitar strap. He wanted me to make him an extra wide strap, but didn't want a Country/Western theme. He specifically wanted a slotted length adjustment, and told me he wanted a New Orleans Voodoo theme. I'll be the first to admit, I have no idea what that means, but I drew up a sketch.

This is a first for me. The few things I have tooled before have all been traced or from pictures. This is the first time for me doing original artwork.

7 ounce veg tan leather, deer skin backing, hand stitched and its got an aged looking finish.

The deer skin feels amazing. Super soft. I love how it feels. I absolutely hate working with it. It gets dirty and stains just looking at it. Ugghhh. I had to throw away the first strip because the contact cement bled through. I had to keep cleaning my hands while stitching it because it would get dirty super easy.
