    The brass is a nice change from the usual stainless steel. Excellent work. Like it when one designs and make their own.
    Regards.

    Thank you everyone.
    This was my second strap. A friend wanted me to make him one but I didn't have anymore hardware so that's when I used the shells.

    This was my first strap from the day befor 20160126_191036.jpg 20160126_200250.jpg 20160126_204219_Richtone(HDR).jpg

    Wow! That's really impressive work!!!:thumbsup: I'm not sure what to be more wowed by, the leather work or your use of the shells to make the brass buckle and keepers. I'd also be very interested in one if you decide to make and sell a few!!! ::popcorn::

    I honestly didn't expect the interest. I would love to make a few and send out. I have no idea what to charge. I'm a first timer. I am open to suggestions. Thanks everyone

    Got my hands on some nice full grain. Made a 3 piece. Think it turned out nicely.
