    End Detail- Fender Mustang Guitar Amp Handle
    Not at all: its from an 8-10 oz hide I got on sale at Tandy. Not their top-grade, but this one was a very good piece for the price. I make these from the thickest part of my leftover pieces after all the straps and belts are cut out. I glue the pieces flesh-side together with Barge.

    The usual standard is 24 hrs, to sort of let it migrate around. I've finished some things within a couple of hours, though, when using darker dyes. The belt i just posted to the gallery sat for about 20 hours before dyeing. I actually finished that one with hardware store spray lacquer with a top coat of bag kote. I'm experimenting to see how it wears.

    This one will be a keeper. Vintage-ish Alpaca Aztec (Mayan?) buckle.

    Never used Tuff Kote, but I'm a huge fan of Resolene on my guitar straps. Seals nicely, wears well, and keeps the dye where it's supposed to be. Various lacquer products work well, also. Clear Lac and Wyo Shene are the same as the old Neat Lac that a lot of people used to use. I plan on using on some of my things soon. Don't know if you are familiar with Freddie Matara, but I've seen him mention that he uses RTC Leather Finsh, and gets excellent results.

    Custom Fender Amp Handle, Distressed Finish
    They're fun to make and really durable if you Barge-Cement two pieces of 9oz together flesh to flesh. Lots of variety possible, and they add a nice look to your amps.

    Client wanted a thicker handle than stock, to I tapered the ends to match his stock mounting Hardware, while allowing a thicker profile.
