Figured I should put something up down here for once instead of just leaving it to my gallery This one is fixed length with holes punched for Schaller/Fender strap locks. The gold is acrylic. Black is Fiebing's Pro Oil, and the whole thing is covered with Resolene and finished off with Montana Pitch Blend. I had been wanting to get some more backgrounding worked into my designs and got the chance here. The customer originally came to me with a tribal cross, then changed his mind to this skull (kind of). While waiting for his turn on the list, I started thinking and decided I'd combine the two and put this frame job in there. We struggled with the back design a little bit until we decided to go back to a cross and came down to the ones you see here. Also, you may notice that the tribal design on front somewhat resembles a snake with it's mouth open. The customer's been on a rampage lately killing snakes around their Southern California ranch, so I used that for some inspiration - including the diamonds down the back.

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. -

Just got my first sheath done. It was an extremely last minute Christmas order. Normally I would have said no, but a friend was really wanting it done. He didn't even expect me to make it in time like I told him I would. So, this has 8 oz front, back, and welt with a 5 oz backing to the lizard and a another guard spacer. That's one thick piece of leather. Did kangaroo basketweave too so it would cover the edges better, but that was a real pain getting through that thick chunk of leather two times per hole (not counting the bottom corner). Let me know what you think. I'll even take some criticism since it's the holidays There's a couple things I wish I could have taken some more time on, but all in all he really loved it and I'm proud of it.
