AndyL1 Posted November 18, 2010 Report Posted November 18, 2010 Nighthawk: A solution that I find pleasing to the eye but a bit slow to adjust! Tom The two new ones are awesome! Good work again dude! This one here is always my favorite. Haven't seen it for a while, thanks for reposting it here. -Andy Quote Blackthorn Leather on Etsy • Blackthorn Leather on Facebook
Members Tina Posted November 19, 2010 Members Report Posted November 19, 2010 (edited) Love your straps lil'bro, and the "pleasing to the eye" detail is gorgeous :notworthy: Edited November 19, 2010 by Tina Quote "He who works with his hands is a laborer.

Members woodandsteel Posted November 19, 2010 Members Report Posted November 19, 2010 Very nice!! What weight leather did you use for these? Quote
Members BradB Posted November 20, 2010 Members Report Posted November 20, 2010 Awesome work Bro! Quote
TomSwede Posted November 21, 2010 Author Report Posted November 21, 2010 Thank you very much all!! Glad you like the straps :-) I use Fiebings pro oil dyes and the one with special connection is red dye with Eco-flo black antique on top of it to make a burst effect towards the edges on the thinner strap. Dunno the weight but it is about 3,5 mm in thickness.

Members OdinUK Posted December 15, 2010 Members Report Posted December 15, 2010 Tom, those are brilliant! I still cant get the same bright red dye effect with the same dyes, it always seems more dull. Which finish did you use? The red V on the black background is great. Quote Lord Of Leather

Thank you very much Tat2!!! I have read your mail and will reply when I can! Tom, Those are beautiful my friend. I wish I had cool friends to make guitar straps for! Awesome! Shirley Thank you Shirley, straps are fun! Tom, those are brilliant! I still cant get the same bright red dye effect with the same dyes, it always seems more dull. Which finish did you use? The red V on the black background is great. Thanks Odin!!! I used Fiebings leather balm for top coat on both theese and fiebings Aussie wax underneath. I allways dilute the red with denatured alcohol. Best regards!

Members OdinUK Posted December 16, 2010 Members Report Posted December 16, 2010 Great pictures Tom, If they tour England I'll make an effort to see them. How come you add the alcohol, I would have thought that it would thin the colour out or make it less vibrant? Do you just apply several coats? Quote Lord Of Leather
