Couple of recent instrument straps

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.

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.

 

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 

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.

 

I agree, the buckles are a nice touch

Thanks,

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?

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.
