    Custom Cut-to-Length Strap in "Blown Red" Finish

    From the album: Custom Guitar Straps

    This is a cut-to-length strap I did and sold on Ebay. Experimental finish process that turned out pretty well. No buckles or tailpiece, just one custom-cut length. Front hole to middle hole length is about 51"

    Custom Guitar Strap: Glow-in-the-Dark carving.

    From the album: Custom Guitar Straps

    Again, a great excercise of a concept, but the final product was never finished. Too many errors to be salable, but I learned a lot from it as to what can be done on a piece like this.

    Custom Guitar Strap Carving from Anatomical Drawings

    From the album: Custom Guitar Straps

    This strap was pretty much an epic fail overall, and never fully completed, but the carving turned out well. Also used a process to make it glow in the dark (See the following image.) A learning experience. Not salable, but good as a concept excercise.

    Custom Guitar Strap For Carter in Dallas

    From the album: Custom Guitar Straps

    My first custom guitar strap. Hand-carved notes with stamped letters. Red pigskin lining is hand saddle-stitched. Custom cut to length, no buckles or tailpiece for a smooth apearance.

    You're very welcome. I'm glad I can share the images. Not only are there some fairly unique examples of tooling, but I also believe that many of the carving and stamping tools were made on-site in the shop, and may thus not be truly dupicable.

    Thanks, guys! I've looked at Wicett and Craig and they seem to offer a consistantly good product at a decent price. Might just go with them.

    I'm a fifth-generation Texan, making leather products in Texas, and am having a devil of a time finding a Texas-based tannery that actually tans their hides here in the state. From a marketing perspective, I'd really like a Total-Texas product. Any clues or leads? Thanks! -- The Flyin' Scot

    Thanks, Denise! The site doesn't like large numbers of IMG tags, so I originally had do it in three parts...

    More photos: Finally, a few shots of one of the holsters in my personal collection I think this one dates from the 1930's-1940's:

    More SD Myres Saddle Co. products: Uncle "Tio" Myres
  13. flynscot
    The world-famous SD Myres Saddle Company operated from 1898 to 1969 out of both Sweetwater (early) and El Paso (later) Texas. Though Uncle Myres died in the 50's, the company kept going and finally folded in 1969. SD "Tio" Myres was my grandfather's uncle. His work has inspired me to take up leathercraft as a serious hobby. Vintagegunleather.com's Brief History of SD Myres The Pioneer Museum in Sweetwater Texas has a very nice exhibition of the early saddle company's leatherwork. I visited last year on a trip to New Mexico. Photos Below:
