Custom Guitar/bass Strap

[Dreadhead]

Heres my first commission of 2013. Tis a bass strap for a bloke in a metal band. He wanted it 3" and extendable to 67" and send me a little shamanic design to carve on.

Made with 4mm veg tan half-butt. Carved and some light texturing, and dyed with eco-flo antique dark brown and some fiebings walnut pro oil dye

And this is also the first commission i have managed to add my makers mark! Although sadly its a cheap plastic one and is impossible to get a good impression. bloomin waste of £30. will have to order a metal heavy duty one when i can afford it grumble grumble

Thanks for looking

Nice work Hamish. Made myself one recently and made the mistake of wanting stitching all round it, that took some time I can tell you!

 

[Dreadhead]

ouch what madness possessed you to do that!

 

[sasquatch]

I know looks nice though!

 

[Dreadhead]

nice one got any pictures of it? I remember the rifle sling you made a while back was pretty tasty stuff

 

[sasquatch]

No pics but I should get on it. Ya, I stitched the edges of the rifle sling as well, I'm a glutton for punishment!
