    Hi all

    I bought a gorgeous belt at belt-and-buckles recently, which they sized right for me. I'm on the thin side of things, so I walked out with the scrap, thinking of turning it into a nice, matching watch strap :)

    Here is a (Blurry, low-light, low-res... sorry... back camera of the phone is busted...) pic of the thing - I can provide more if needed.

    It' basically some (or so I was told) italian veal, very nice and soft, 40mm wide, probably 2mm thick. The trick is, the center area is brown (with some nubuck-ish finish) but the edges are (airbrushed?) black - so to turn this into a 20mm strap means that at least one of that side finish should be replicated on the newly cut "edge".

    Is there a strapmaker on the forum who could do that for me?

    Please get in touch by PM - ideally with some kind of a price range already :)

    Thank you,
    Paul
