    I was commissioned to build this for a repeat customer. All three were made with ostrich embossed leather. The main parts of the sling and cuff have a piece of 5 oz veg-tan between the ostrich and a suede lining. This was for a 375 H&H.

    Thanks everyone! I order the skins off Etsy for those who are curious.

    Such a tough topic to agree on and I think ultimately you'll have to find your balance between cost to produce and what your specific clientele will pay. I always start my pricing strategy with this formula. (Cost of materials + labor) x 1.25% (profit). So if my materials cost me 50 and it took me two hours (pay myself $20/hour), then my base is $90. Add in 25% profit and my minimum to charge is $112.50. From there I can adjust as needed and I can also tell immediately if this specific item is something I want to dive into as a permanent listing. Meaning, if $112.50 is what I need to charge for something to keep all metrics happy, but the market says it's a $25 item, then I scrap the idea and move on. Good luck!

    Seems rare these days that I have time to make something for myself but glad I hit the pause button on my custom orders to make myself a strap for my bass guitar. It's very similar to another one I posted awhile back, with a few minor changes. This one is two pieces of 4/5 veg-tan with rattlesnake inlay. Dyed dark brown with black trim.

    Just finished this trio up from alligator embossed leather. Made for a 30-30 lever action rifle. It was fairly thin so I glued it to a piece of 4/5 veg tan, then lined them with suede. Customer was very pleased.
