I got into making dog collars

Recommended Posts

I started about 3 years ago slowly working out the details have a long way to go, but it sure is fun!!! My most recent collar:

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!

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.

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!

Big collars are 9-10oz small collars are 5-6oz I use either Hermann Oak or Oak leaf depending on what the customer wants.

These look great! Is there padding under the pigskin?
