Members Zor Posted December 29, 2013 Members Report Posted December 29, 2013 Hello, I started working with leather when my kids joined an archery class and I made them arm guards. They turned out pretty good (Kids too). I decided to make a guitar strap for a friend as a Chritmas present and am happy with the results. This was the first time I tooled leather and hand stitched. The stiching took longer than I anticipated and was a pain. I used nock point thread ment for an archery bow string, I liked the thickness and durability. I did not edge coat it and left it two tone. I didn't bevel the edge because I have a #4 beveler and it was too much and I didn't like the look. I did wax the edge though. I really enjoyed making this guitar strap and hope to do more in the future. This seems like a great place to learn leather work. Quote
Members Bev478 Posted January 10, 2014 Members Report Posted January 10, 2014 Hi Zor, good to meet you. I like the carving, looks pretty neat to me, as does the stitching. This has to be one of the best places to learn about leatherworking, I can't believe how much info is on here Quote
