  1. Looks great! Love that stamp. Is that a weight in the upper left portion of your first photo? Tell us about it
  2. This is a wall plaque I did that commemorates the year that the recipient marched with the Toronto Optimists Drum and Bugle Corp. I wrapped a 3/4” piece of “good both sides” plywood; front, back and sides. The diameter of the image is 5 1/2” and is the Drum & Bugle Corp’s logo.
  3. Wow! That looks amazing … thanks for sharing
  4. the woman I made the strap for plays in a band called “Blue Chicory” and that is what the flowers are … Chicory flowers. Thanks!
  5. Thank you, Sheilajeanne, Yes, there is a curve at the top of the shoulder. When I make these, I take two measurements: 1) the total length of the player’s current strap (from the centre of the back pin hole to the centre of the front pin hole) 2) from the mid point at the top of the shoulder to the front pin hole when the player is wearing his/her guitar in a comfortable position. I have a few templates for the main portion of the body and cut the front and rear “tails” to the proper length. It is a lot of work but the contour and the “cut to measure” narrow tails at the front and back reduce resistance and make for a more comfortable strap. The photo below gives you an idea of how the contour looks
  6. Thanks, rleather … the color is 40% Fiebing’s light brown / 60% alcohol with a dark brown antique.
