rcrscom Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 Found some shark skin at Tandy the other day, so I figured what the hell and picked up a hide... A little tougher to work with than regular leather, but I think the outcome is well worth the effort! I doubt I will stitch this one, as the stitching would only distract from the texture of the hide IMO. I used suede for the backing on this one for comfort, and will report back in the coming weeks as to how it wears out in the real world. Took a few shots with and without flash to try and capture the texture as best as possible. As always, critiques and criticisms welcome!

Watchwatcher Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 rcr, i'm really impressed, that is a very nice looking strap. i am wondering how well you think it will hold up without the stitching? i think that strap could be an interesting match up with a tuxedo faced pam 29... oh look , i happen to have a tuxedo faced pam 29 (hint, hint). Thanks for sharing the pics, keep us posted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
