Hi everyone,

I thought it was about time to post my first topic here :) From knifemaking I got into leatherworking by chance about 1,5 years ago and this is, apart from some smaller decorations, my second carving project.

I started working on this strap in December already, but we all know how 'priority' works. I really enjoyed making it but I had a rough time making proper pictures, it's really hard to catch the colours and I still think it looks better in reality.

Here it is on my strat:

Some pictures with my charming assistant ^^

I really hope you like it of course, but comments of any kind are most welcome!

That is absolutely gorgeous! I know pretty much nothing about guitar straps, but that element you have at one end where another strap is woven through a few times? It really helps set off the roses (which are wonderfully done, too!).

Very nice job, Frederiek! Love the 3 tone stain and the green leaf accent. That adjustment strap is nicely done. Great attention to detail. I can appreciate to effort you put in to that. It was well worth it!

Thanks for sharing,

Bill

Beautiful carving. What strikes me as odd, is that you have colored the leaves but not the roses, so the eye tends to gravitate to the leaves and it almost looks unfinished to my eye. I would have at least some color in the roses and used moe of a wash on the leaves.

Cya!

Very nice Guitar strap,

The ROSES are nicely tooled.

The green and brown colored leaves and stems are a nice touch.

And too, I like the colored edges on the attachment strap.
