cowgirlrae Report post Posted April 15, 2011 My DH has started back into leathercraft, he just finished himself a guitar strap. Tooled with basket weave, lined with velvety soft lining leather, antiqued finish and laced on all edges with natural leather lace. He said it's the first thing he has done in about 25 years. I think its beautiful and he was glad for the practice and getting back in the groove. He makes nice things. I'm so proud of him. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wvcraftsman Report post Posted April 15, 2011 That's awsome. That would be a really cool looking belt as well. The only musical instrument I can play is the radio, but I can see nice craftsmanship. What is a DH? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cowgirlrae Report post Posted April 15, 2011 What is a DH? DH= Dear Husband.... he made custom belts for many years, tooled, filigree and cut away backgrounds. Lots of lacing on those too. Thanks for the kind words Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cowgirlrae Report post Posted April 23, 2011 Thankyou all for kind comments. The lacing took about 8 hours as far as I recall. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OdinUK Report post Posted January 20, 2012 It looks amazing! Is that basket weave the same as the "Top Plait"? Just a different name for it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
