NEW Tooled Leather Guitar Strap to match my Tooled Leather Pickguards Hey all! I am pretty excited about these new matching straps, they are made from 9oz veg tan leather (USA cow hide) Embossed with a floral tooled pattern, they are hand cut then dyed and the edges are finished by hand. The backing is a super smooth lamb skin leather. All rivets are chicago screws fastened with loctite, they wont fail eventually like standard rivets. Stitching is available in white or black and done with heavy duty 277 thread. Colors are available in the same colors as my pickguards. Antique Tan, Antique Saddle Tan, Antique Brown, and Black of course! Thank you! Eric

Gorgeous work! I have a client who wants me to do one for him. But he lives cross country and I'm not sure he could lace it.

how wide will it skive?

Is there one? If not I would like to start one! whos interested? Eric

Considering ordering a laser for cutting and etching my leather does anyone know what watt I would need to cut up to 10oz veg tan? Thanks! Eric

very cool work, looking forward to seeing more! welcome!!

It's 2-3 oz sewn to about 5-6oz

Thank you Dan, it did look like the holes were very big. I will try the needle first and see how she looks.

Let me start by saying I know nothing about machine sewing I am attaching a photo in the hopes that someone can help me out fine tuning http://db.tt/V8ZLJmY2 http://db.tt/5nc8XETn Thanks! Eric

Texas custom dies all the way, they did for me what others could not.

Gorgeous! Well done

Love it, nice job!

I tried hot water didnt work that well, but I will try the varnish ty!! I also heard that shellac or white pva glue works, any experience with either of those?? THANK YOU!!!!!

Hey all, I mad a great looking leather pickguard for my telecaster, but the leather is too pliable and I am afraid it will curl over time, I also want to make one for my other guitar that has pots and pickups mounted on the guard itself so hardening it will be a necessity The problem is it needs to be cut before I harden it and it cannot shrink. any ideas?? Thanks in advance!! Eric

great work man!! youre on the TDPRI forum! small world

thank you! the things on the end are called strap locks, and the keeper is between the rivets that hold the buckle on, I just put the keeper between the rivets
