Alexis1234 Report post Posted January 19, 2023 I've been busy cleaning bells and making up new strap work. This is my latest project- cleaning and reinstalling antique brass sleigh bells on new strapwork as a neck strap for a horse. 15 graduated bells, largest is a number 10, bells get smaller closer to the buckle. Handstamped border, rich Chestnut bridle leather liner , tapered strap that swells out at each bell. Handstitched and creased keeper, chape and billet. Unfortunately, these are the only pics I can load, I don't know how to make the files smaller Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mulesaw Report post Posted January 19, 2023 Beautiful work. I especially like the elegance of the wavy tapered sides. That just looks spot on! I know that a regular taper could have done the job but this is just perfect. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
