Members Stetson912 Posted October 6, 2017 Members Report Posted October 6, 2017 People underestimate the ability it takes to make a good strap. (Well, we all here appreciate it but you know) Just about all the basics of leather working are covered and learned in making a strap. Looks good to me! Quote
Members DrmCa Posted October 6, 2017 Members Report Posted October 6, 2017 Wow, very nice! Quality work and they look strong.

Members battlemunky Posted October 7, 2017 Members Report Posted October 7, 2017 Not only do those look great and strong but comfy too. I imagine that even though they won't understand why, they know it is. Quote
Members A6C5O7 Posted October 9, 2017 Members Report Posted October 9, 2017 What oz leather and type did you use? They look awesome! Quote

Members whistler Posted October 9, 2017 Members Report Posted October 9, 2017 After having to have recently put my hunting partner and family pet of nearly 15 years down its awful hard for me to think about dogs. She was the best and this is the kind of collar she would be wearing if still around. Very Nice! Quote

Members Madmike2022 Posted September 1, 2018 Members Report Posted September 1, 2018 Hey striver - are your collars available for sale? Quote
bikermutt07 Posted September 2, 2018 Report Posted September 2, 2018 They look great. Quote 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.
