Carp and water buffalo guitar strap
Over the weekend, I finished this guitar strap for my brother. I love working with exotic leather and this project has several critters represented. The orange looking leather on the face is water buffalo and the dark brown is tanned carp hide. The white lettering is emu hide. The trim and back is done with deer hide and I carved the buttons out of the antlers off a little 6-point buck I killed with my longbow last year. Everything was sewn by hand using artificial sinew.

Oh he does. We have a great relationship. I make him leather goodies and he gives me free doctoring. For some reason, though, he always wants me to take my clothes off...and he always has his banjo with him. I guess it's an Ozarks thing.

As long as he is actually a brother, and a doctor!!

Re: Carp and water buffalo guitar strap
Didnt "Deliverance" take place further South???
It's funny....but that movie has about ruined that melody. Dueling banjos was a fav of mine growing up, and I even did a rendition of it on my mandolin.
I'm trying to picture what carp/water buffalo leather would look like strapped up to my mandos...lol. I've got a pretty nice braided leather strap....but it's not anything like this piece of art!
