Guitar Strap for my Brother's Birthday

[AZNightwolf]

Lot of work to make this presentable. Mostly due to my naiveté and newbie status but once again, learned a lot. Maybe I'll send him an upgrade every year as I get better. Thanks for looking

That's really cool! What dye did you use on the floral pattern?

[AZNightwolf]

Thanks, it's an antiquing gel. Eco-flo I think. I'll check tonight

looks better then some of my first ones. A suggestion though, turn the adjustment buckle around so the tail hangs down instead of pointing up. It's a small thing but from what I've seen on most others, that's the way they have it. I don't use buckles but works the same on the same brown studs I use for adjustment.

Not sure I follow. The connection point for the buckle is behind the strap and pointed toward the main body of the strap.

Let me see if I can explain it better.

Instead of having the buckle attached to the body, attach it to the end of the tail and then put the adjustment tail on the main body of the strap. Like this one. That way, everything hangs down naturally, not flopping over and down like yours will once the leather starts softening up

[AZNightwolf]

ok, that makes sense. Thanks!
