That is just stunning! I would say you're a leather crafting phenom =o] -

The pebbled background tools used are the Tandy E294 (medium size) and the E294-04 (small size). There is a larger size too but I never use it. It's one of my favorite backgrounding tools. -
Very nice. Really clean work. The tooling looks great and the colors just pop right out. Beautiful! -

I applied it with a foam brush then went over lightly with a large brush to smooth out any air bubbles. Could it be the surface layer of the leather perhaps? I know some leathers just react differently to dyes and finishes. -
I've been using acrylic resolin but I notice it cracks a bit on straps. Is atom wax better? Is one definitely better than the other or does it depend on usage of the project? I'm making a case. It doesn't have many 'moving' parts aside from a shoulder strap. Should I be thinning the resolin? Any advice and help would be greatly appreciated.

Very nice work. You're motivating me to make myself a guitar strap! Thank you for sharing. I love the finish color here too.
