Great job.

I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with.

Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day.

From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.

Thanks, I don't get up to Kentucky, I do the ones in Georgia, and a few in Florida and Alabama.  I make Resogat every year in Wilkesboro, NC.  Wish I could get up to KY, I used to live in Clarksville just south of Hopkinsville back in the 70's and played around there some then.

Awesome work.  I've just finished my 1st 3 guitar straps for the guys in my band (I'll post some pictures in another thread) and looking at your decorative work is making me want to up my game.

Quick question, do you treat the back of the strap with anything?  I've been putting tan kote on mine just to try and seal the back but wasn't sure if there was a need, or if there is something better to be using?

In a word, Wowza!

Chief, you would be doing all (well most all) of us a big favor if you'd make a detailed video of your different basketweave stamping methods. Your work is textbook perfect. In fact, better yet, you should write a book!

Those look fantastic.  How wide do you typically make them? I'm wanting to get started but there's so many different widths that people use and I'm not really certain where to start.
