BearMan Report post Posted July 20, 2013 Hi Everybody, Here is a Guitar Strap for a local Christian Artist. It's the first thing of the leather bench in a while. He wanted it un lined, so I made it out of 10oz Herman Oak & it's 49" to the center hole. After tooling I rubbed in a good coat of Aussie conditioner, to make it more supple. After it dried over nite, I dyed the curved basket weave areas. After drying, I buffed it up with a soft brush, applied a NeatLac finish, edged, slicked the edges & sealed the backside. Thanks for looking,,, Ed the"BearMan" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
