First guitar strap since starting back up.

I made this guitar strap for a friend who owns Dreadnought Brewing here in Washington as a "see if I still like leatherwork" project. Turns out I still do!

Comments and critiques are more than welcome as I'll be looking for ways to improve!

Thanks in advance.

It is nice!  How did you get the coloring so tidy around the letters?

Haha! That was the step that scared me most! After I airbrushed the rest of the piece the letters didn't stand out and it just didn't look right. So I used a very thin paint brush dipped in dye and hand painted each edge. I probably went over it three passes each letter? With every brush stroke I was certain I was going to slip and ruin the whole piece!

Very cool, creative and professional! Your shading makes it look padded but I gather it’s a single layer of leather.

Yes indeed. Single layer of 5-6oz.
