Chief31794 Posted December 7, 2014 Report Posted December 7, 2014 On the Friday after Thanksgiving, the orders started flowing. This is most of what we turned out, I missed photographing a few that were rush orders for overseas shipping. Chief Quote "Life's too short to carry ugly leather"
Members Halitech Posted December 8, 2014 Members Report Posted December 8, 2014 Beautiful work as always Chief Quote Every day you learn something is a good day. If you don't learn something every day, was it worth waking up for?
Chief31794 Posted December 8, 2014 Author Report Posted December 8, 2014 Thanks, be glad when January comes around. Chief Quote "Life's too short to carry ugly leather"

Members stu925 Posted December 11, 2014 Members Report Posted December 11, 2014 Man you've been busy. Beautiful work, I especially like the rifle slings. That's what the well dressed deer rifle is wearing this year. Stu Quote

These super looking examples are an inspiration to many Im sure ! --------- Wild Bill46 Thanks Bill, mine haven't been idle but they're about to be, I stop taking orders tonight at midnight. Man you've been busy. Beautiful work, I especially like the rifle slings. That's what the well dressed deer rifle is wearing this year. Stu Thank you sir, the rifle slings have been the biggest seller this year, I haven't counted completely but I know I've made at least 20 since Thanksgiving, could be a few more. Thanks, Chief Quote "Life's too short to carry ugly leather"
Members Wild Bill46 Posted December 11, 2014 Members Report Posted December 11, 2014 Sorry about any confusion there, Chief, (It was just how I lined my thoughts up in my head at that moment)! What I was trying to say is ; I was glad you are this busy, -------------------- Wild Bill46 Quote
Contributing Member Bob Blea Posted December 11, 2014 Contributing Member Report Posted December 11, 2014 Nice work Chief! I'm impressed with the volume of work you are making. I'm lucky to get one notebook made a week, if that! Can't image making all that stuff so quickly. Quote There are always possibilities....

What I was trying to say is ; I was glad you are this busy, -------------------- Wild Bill46 I understood, thanks. Nice work Chief! I'm impressed with the volume of work you are making. I'm lucky to get one notebook made a week, if that! Can't image making all that stuff so quickly. Lots of hours and a lot of prep work, I make a lot of straps and I have most of them already cut out before the Christmas rush, this year I closed orders early cause I got a few more than I anticipated. Since Friday after Thanksgiving, I did 5 Banjo Straps, 2 Mandolin Straps, 1 Guitar Strap, 22 Rifle Slings, 1 Wallet, 1 Money Clip, and 1 Belt. I make several of the Rifle Slings with Deer already carved so all I have to do is put the initials in and stamp the basket weave. That helps, the only ones I have to carve are orders for different carvings. I did 2 Deer last night (they were already carved) and all I had to do was a Bear Head carving and a Duck, the duck is pretty easy, the Bear took a couple of hours. Oh well, I'm off for the holidays now anyway. Love your work!!! Chief Quote "Life's too short to carry ugly leather"
Members ChiefStealth Posted December 12, 2014 Members Report Posted December 12, 2014 Very nice work, there! I'd bet one of those guitar straps would like nice on my Martin. Quote

Here's a picture of me with one of my straps on my 74' D-28. Chief Quote "Life's too short to carry ugly leather"

Members BDAZ Posted December 12, 2014 Members Report Posted December 12, 2014 Great stuff! Enough straps for a bluegrass jam! You '28 has a really nice piece of rosewood for Indian! I still have my original strap made by Roger Sprung on my original guitar, a '63 28 bought new. All three of us are a little worse for wear. I used to tour with Sprung and we used to play at the Fiddlers Convention in Hiawassee every year. Back to the bench!! I am filling an order for 30 musical leather items. Cya! Bob Quote
Chief31794 Posted December 12, 2014 Author Report Posted December 12, 2014 Good, old fashioned G chord. Reminds me of my Bluegrass days. Yep, always made it that way, been playing for about 58 years, started when I was 7. Thanks, Great stuff! Enough straps for a bluegrass jam! You '28 has a really nice piece of rosewood for Indian!

Bob It is a very nice piece of Indian, lots of folks think it's Brazilian but they stopped those the year before or so. I feel for you on the orders, it gets crazy this time of year. I sell Dobro straps at the Resogat every year and that's what I have to start getting ready for next. Thanks, Chief Quote "Life's too short to carry ugly leather"
Members BDAZ Posted December 12, 2014 Members Report Posted December 12, 2014 I had a 74 HD 28 which was one of the nicest sounding guitars I have ever heard but traded it for a banjo....too many instruments, not enough fingers! Resogat sound like fun! Cya! Bob Quote
