barbedwireboutique Report post Posted May 10, 2016 Finished up my first bib spur straps. I forgot to bevel the edges, other critique is appreciated! Maybe should add a belt keeper too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David8386 Report post Posted May 12, 2016 I think they came out pretty good for a first pair. I don't know about a keeper, it wouldn't be hard to rig up but I would wear them for a while and see if the strap curls too much or catches on stuff first. Thanks for posting them.

cowboycolonel Report post Posted September 19, 2016 (edited) Pretty good for a first pair. If you're going to make more, maybe you'd consider tapering the ends of the buckle strap so that they lay flatter. Also, unless you're going to use a center-bar buckle, you'd want a keeper on the outside of the buckle to tuck it away. Then, just for aesthetics, consider surrounding your carving with a crease instead of a single tick line. It will make a huge difference in the perceived quality of your work.
