Couple of recent instrument straps

[Chief31794]

This group from April runs the gammut, Dobro, Guitar, Banjo and Mandolin straps.  The ones with the buckles are squareneck dobro (buckles are almost always used and there is a reason for it, with the dobro they never get near the instrument), ones with snap hooks are banjo, ones with loop and no buckle are mandolin, Guitar straps are self explanatory.

Not exactly, this is a crown of thorns and three nails, I normally carve these on Bible covers, but this guy wanted one on his guitar strap.

 

Wow nice work as always Chief!

Lookin good as always Chief. Watched another vid of you making straps again cuz I have a guy who wants a 66" long one. So I'm debating on getting the BRL template. Ta. Matt.

Anybody that can cut that long and that straight gets my vote for awesome ! Nice work as always, I like the straps with the buckles, gives them a western feel 

[AZNightwolf]

I agree, the buckles are a nice touch

Thanks, that's pretty long for a guitar strap, however, dobro straps average around there, I've done a few at 72" or so.  The BRL templates do a great job I think you'll be happy with them.

Thanks, some folks want them, some don't makes no difference to me, but my personal dobro strap has a buckle system on the front loop strap.

Here's one that has a two buckle system and is double layered with 1/4" padding between the layers.  I don't usually do them this way but the customer really likes the buckle sets and requested it be done that way.

what about lining?

don't they stretch over time?

[Chief31794]

I line some of them, but not many, I've got some in use that have been being played on the stage for over 25 years and they haven't stretched yet.  Never heard of that being a problem.
