CapnCohen Report post Posted July 25, 2020 A friend hired me to make a guitar strap for his son. He sent me a photo of a sample design, which I used as a rough idea. I used 4/5 oz veg tanned with 2 oz garment leather lining. Hand stitched (man, I am so ready for a sewing machine), antique stained, carved/raised letters and cross. I think I’ll use foam inside lining next time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rleather Report post Posted July 26, 2020 What brand and color antique stain did you use? I use Fiebing's antique saddle tan and med brown. I really like that lighter color. Really nice work! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
