First time showing my work. Be Gentle

I made a watch strap.  I think it turned out well for the most part. 

Had a little trouble with the keeper, but overall I'm pleased.   If anyone knows the secrets of stitching in a keeper I'm all ears.

Not sure how to get around the max pic size limit.  I suppose I could resize.  But, here they are on imgur.

Looks nice. What leather did you use, what thread?

Sorry, I should have listed that. 

It's goat leather on top and bottom, with veg tan tooling leather in the middle.  Maine Thread Co. .03" waxed polycord.

great strap! Nigel Armitage has a video on sewing a keeper in a belt, I suppose it would be the same process, only a lot more intricate!

Nice looking strap!

You can use Irfanview to resize on a PC or if you have pics on an iPad or iPhone, download the Imagesize app.  Both very easy to use for resizing down to 640 x 480 or 800 x 600 for posting.  Both programs are free.

Thanks Gary!  Good to know.  And thank you for the kind words everyone.  You notice I didn't show the back of the strap?
