Help! I just made my first guitar strap. It's for my nephew. He's only 3 so it's small but its pretty nice and the tooling i liked alot but..... What I did - cut stamped dyed with tandy Eco pro and used Aussie conditioner to seal and finish it. Here's what it looked like... But then I started to "bend it" a little to "loosen or soften" it and it gave me wrinkles HELP!!!!! I don't like this is it normal? On the part that is part of the buckle strap is thinner and when I bent that it didn't do this.... That's question one. Question two. What do I do to the back to make it smoother? I just used veg tan from tandy and dyed it. It is kind of rough and I kinda have the same problem on some of my belts. Any ideas?

Vintage dye job to replicate that "old and warn, yet well cared for" look. Perfect piece to show off some of those natural character marks. I cover the piece with dark brown applied blotchy, with only "specs" of dye around the tooling, then go over the whole thing in red, followed by some light brown around the tooling to darken it up a bit and then some more to blend different shades on the rest of the strap, then one more coat of red to tie it all together. It's a pain, but my customers love the look.© Hellhound Kustoms Leatherwork

So, I work with an online blues instructor by the name of Griff Hamlin and we've become pretty close over the past few years. Every year he has a huge event at the Fender Center in Corona (where the custom shop is) and donates all the proceeds to Kids Rock Free. Well, his wife, who is also a huge supporter, asked me to make a bass strap for their son for his birthday later this month and she wants to present it to him on stage at the benefit concert. I was actually supposed to present it to him in person, but bills happened and I couldn't afford the flight and hotel (super bummer). Anyway, this is a pretty cool and long strap. I also had to add a bunch of adjustment since the kids only 14 years old and we want it to last really long time. It fits me at 6' 5", so it should last him a while. We were going to do red flames, but then he finally put his blue strings on his bass and happened to be looking at a strap that had blue flames, so we switched it up. The "R" in his name is also a bass cleff that's a close approximation to how he signs his name all the time.

For those of you on chat a couple evenings ago, as promised here are a couple pics of my current 'in the works' project of my first custom guitar strap. Will add updates as work progresses. Background will be 'saddle tan' antiqued, star and barb wire concho between name and brand, buckle end on back guitar attachment, will also be lined with thin sheepskin by request. JJ Sorry, got two front pictures and no back. JJ

New guitar strap I finished up today. The customer is a member of the Blues Guitar Unleashed forums (BGU) who's family had a history of "privateering" after they came over from Britain. So, we went with that and the fact that he's from Texas and threw his family crest on there as well.
