Finished this up today. It's one I started a couple months back, but just did about 8". It just never struck me right. My wife really liked it, and kept mentioning it. I finally had to finish it.

I don't have a supply of needles yet, so I think the needle in the machine was to big for this weight (7-8). On a drunken night, my handstitching would look better than that..oh well.

Saddle tan base, leather balm, and then ant. black.

Thanx Luke.

It probably took the better part of a day to tool out...an hour or so for dye, and edging.

Thanx Beav and Tom!

Beaverslayer - I liked the color too...as usual, you have a plan how to dye, and the leather decides for you...lol

Tom - I keep trying ways for no buckles, this one so far seems to be my standard, until I figger another way.

That is so true, I'm currently experiencing this, but hey, i think I will get a really cool colouring with this project.

I think without buckles produces a cleaner look but mostly I'm concerned that they will scratch the guitar.
