Made some more straps, i think i improved a bit!

well i bought some more leather, and went on to make some more straps.

i payed attention to the stitching pattern and i modded a punch that allows me to make some sweet stitch (imho!)

also i did a few tries on using some very soft leather on the inside.

thick straps are nice, they have a vintage feel, but if the leather is not ultra ultra soft then the strap ends up a bit stiff

so i used single layer of leather coated with this very very very soft leather on the inside

enjoy

very tan leather made for a friend (you can see his nickname on the back heh)

i love this leather

They look very nice esdee.. Practice does count in strapmaking.

For the back you should leave just a little bit of thread and with a lighter you burn the edge and while hot/melting you press it down with your thumb.

Hurts a bit but it is the cleanest and tougher finish I have ever achieved ;)
