  1. Top of the old guitar was sanded and leather weld applied to guitar and the leather.. Yes it does effect the sound, will muffell it. But this is for show on an old cheap guitar but it will still play .... This will become a stage show guitar..............
  2. A while back I was inspired by Tracy Moss who did a wonderful Guitar Cover. I make things for other people but nothing for myself. I decided to make this cover for my old guitar... Here it is////// Larry Lasso
  3. To get the curve. Take a one by one four feet long cut a notch in either end two inches from either end ( on a 45 degree angle) then take a four foot flexable ruler and insert into each notch and you will have the curve
  4. A customer wanted me to make a simple gun belt and holster without all the glit and glamer I put into my products. Not used to doing this but here it is.......

  7. llasso, I left a comment about your Roy Rogers Spur Straps that you made and again they are awesome. I do have some questions if I may ask. Do you make your own patterns? And what do you use for the lining? I'm currently attempting to make spur straps, and I'm using patterns from Tandy and bought Old West Collection Spur Leather pattern pack from Tandy.

  8. These straps were a joy to make, hope you like them I have been wanting to make this set of these straps for sometime and finally got the opportunity to do so. As many of you know Roy had three gun belts in his time the first made by Ed Gilmore in 1938, the next made by Bohlin in 1942 and the last made be Nudie in 1949. Nudie also made a set of spur straps to match the holster and gun belt. Both the straps and the gun belt were adorned with GOLD conchos. These were made for an ad campaign in 1949 called “ Goldmine for 49”. This campaign was conducted for the sellers of Roy Rogers products. I can’t afford gold conchos so I decided to have them made in jewelers bronze. The small conchos are 5/8” and the large conchos are 2”. You will notice that the buckle sets match the conchos. All of the ornamentation was made for me by Wage Silver in California. You will see these straps on the covers of Roy Rogers comic books. The original straps are in the Roy Rogers museum in Branson Missouri. The Bohlin method of construction has been used in the making of these straps, you will note the spur buttons are hidden from view. The carving on the straps is close to those on Roy’s straps. I made two sets of these straps , one I am keeping for me and the other you are looking at. These are a Larry Lasso interpretation of Roy’s spur straps
