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. :huh:

Thanks. He saw some sample tooling and approved so it won't be a complete surprise. ;)

Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms.

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.

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. :o

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.
