rktaylor Posted yesterday at 03:13 PM Report Posted yesterday at 03:13 PM A friend ordered this guitar strap as a Christmas present for his son. I don't do a lot of floral tooling so it took some time. I vow to practice more in the coming year. A pre-news year's resolution. Randy Quote

Members Darren8306 Posted 3 hours ago Members Report Posted 3 hours ago Excellent work! I hope their guitar playing keeps up with it Quote
Members TomE Posted 3 hours ago Members Report Posted 3 hours ago That's a beauty! What caught my eye immediately is the way the vine is woven around the flowers to create a criss-cross appearance, and how you decreased the size of the letters to complement the shape of the point. Lots of neat details. Thanks for sharing. Quote
rktaylor Posted 17 minutes ago Author Report Posted 17 minutes ago (edited) Thanks for the compliments. The young man can play, so I hope the strap can keep up. He's getting really popular thanks to TikTok. I don't understand, but I guess I'm too old. I think the font appearance is an optical illusion since the strap is curved over a post. The letter height is within 1/16" but the width may vary. If they are tapered, it certainly wasn't intended. Randy Edited 13 minutes ago by rktaylor Clarification Quote
