rcsaddles Report post Posted December 8, 2010 Are you just doing a plaited strap? Any padding? Your plaiting looks great. I didn't count the strands but I bet you also cut your own lace. Looks great. Want to see a picture when finished and how it attaches to the gun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rcsaddles Report post Posted December 10, 2010 Bevan, You have a great time fishing. Last time I fished in Oz was in "88 in Morton Bay. "i have all summer to get this done" Wow that sounds great. It is about 20 degrees F here, wind about 15 MPH and snowing. Visibility down to less than 1/4 mile. Summer sounds good. Still want to see some pictures when this is complete. Great fishing.
