DTrap Report post Posted February 4, 2015 My brothers dog needed a new collar so I worked something up for him. I bought a strip of copper from the hardware store and cut, drilled, and sanded it to make some decoration for it. I also hand bent it in order make it fit over the leash attachment point. Used copper rivets but couldn't find any copper buckles. Then did some lacing along the outside of it. Also decided to work up a leash to kind of match it. Let me know what you guys think.

capsterdog Report post Posted February 5, 2015 Looks very good and a good looking dog. Like how you incorporated other materials besides leather. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DTrap Report post Posted February 5, 2015 Thanks guys. The dog is an American Bulldog. He is still just a pup. Only about a year and a half old. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Redochre Report post Posted February 7, 2015 That's a pretty sweet looking collar! Did you use a finish on the copper? I've done a few copper inlays and found the copper tarnishes very quickly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DTrap Report post Posted February 7, 2015 Thanks and no I didn't put anything on the copper. It's already almost 2 months old in these pics and it is starting to tarnish a little but I like the look that it gets as it tarnishes. Gives it an aged old world type look I'm hoping.
