Degermann Baranil Leather Watch Straps

[CalgaryJim]

I hadn’t used this leather before so I ordered some from Rocky Mountain Leather Supply. It’s harder to skive than I’m used to with veg tanned leather. I also for the first time used inverse pricking irons as well as regular ones, also from RMLS. Those leave holes that are more oblong than the rectangular holes I get with my Tandy Pro pricking irons. I prefer the latter shape but Tandy doesn’t sell inverse ones. Happy with the results though except that I just noticed the stitching on the shirt strap is angled outward, on the long strap it’s angled inwards, lol.
 

2.7mm pricking irons, 1mm Degermann Baranil Leather, Velodon reinforcement fabric, 1mm Haas’s Zermatt leather for the liner, Tandy Eco Flex Edge Coat edge paint, 0.45mm RMLS waxed linen thread, Barge All Purpose cement.

 

Unfortunately I only have this photo of the straps ready to be given to a watchmaker friend as a thank you gift.
