      The strap end is cut totally freehand, got a very nice result this time. For the lug ends i just skiv (cut the leather thinner) at the point where the strap bends back on itself. I do it with a fresh blade every time for the best result.

          Well I have sold some, if you are interested shoot me a pm and I'll see if I can work something out. Don't have a lot of leathers at the moment but I guess I could whip up a strap or a few if there's interest.

                    You know what, I have some 24 mm/24 mm straps (lug width/buckle size) lying around that I've made that have been used or have some blemishes or other minor flaws (definitely still usable) that I'd be happy to send out if anyones interested if you just cover the shipping costs. Buckles not included… Pm me if you're interested.

                              So, Jii has super strap skills, pics of dark brown strap on my Seiko Discusburger (Moving Design collection):

                              Thanks again, really made my day after a long week.

                                Jii has very nice strap skills, I used his strap as a model (it was a tad bit large for my watch) and tried to make a black/white replica:

                                            Really great pics!

                                            Guys, quick question, I'm looking for a 2-3" black O-ring (making a shoulder holster) and a couple of 1.5-2" black O-rings. Suggestions for where one can find such stuff?

                                            Seize the day and don't you cry.
