Finally finished this up today. Took half a year of Sundays it seems, but ready. 1" wide strap, Hermann Oak leather, Fil Au Chinois Thread, solid steel hardware.  Learned a thing from @RockyAussie's watch strap tutorial, and tried to apply it here.  Thanks for that!  Plenty of little mistakes, and things I'd do differently (like only use that style of buckle with very thin flexible leather), but I think it will be serviceable!  From what I understand, LuLu is a girly girl boxer with white fur, so I think she'll like this style.

Looks good!  But why did you make the strap from two pieces instead of one?

Thank you.  And, it is a safety collar design.  The center ring is supposed to allow the collar to flip and be pulled off if the dog gets hung up on something.  Not sure if it really works or not, but lots of folks seem to think it does.  It does add a whole lot of complexity to the design and construction, that is for sure.

That design does make sense - thanks!

Very Nice.  newbie question.  Is the background dyed or antiqued ?

The background is dyed with a tiny paint brush, then oiled, resisted, and then finally antiqued.

Yeah, I've been wanting to make one for a few years.  Have attempted on two other occasions, and failed miserably on both.  Finally success!

Very nice! Love the pink stitching and highlights, ties the whole thing together.

It will look great against white fur, I hope we get to see pictures of her modelling it!
