dhaverstick Report post Posted July 11, 2017 Friday night I finished this banjo strap for my baby brother, Dale. I told him I would make him a leather doodad of his choosing for his 50th birthday. It took him a couple of years but he finally decided on a strap for his banjo and one for his guitar. This strap is made from bison hide and is covered in ostrich leg skin that I painted. The trim is deer hide and I carved all the buttons out of the antlers off a little 6-point buck I killed with my longbow last November. Everything was sewn by hand using artificial sinew. I can hardly wait to get a picture of him with his banjo and new strap.Darren Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
