Thank you! That one went to a friend in Australia for his Lum-Tec.
I haven't made one with that leather in a while, maybe I'll do another soon. :)

I love your work! Very inspiring! I just bought some leather to make my second strap.
And since you are my new watch strap guru, I have two questions for you.
1: What is it called when you thread with two needles at the same time? I really need to google the technique.
2: How do you make the edges so smooth? Do you use shoe cream or something on the edges?

Thank you, yonsson!
I think what you're looking for is called "saddle-stitching".
As for the edges, there are many different ways to finish them. Lots of people use a ready-made product like Edge-Kote that will color and finish the raw leather.
Practice, practice, practice.
Looking forward to seeing your progress!

Great looking straps.How long have you been making them ? Are you self taught and how does one go about getting into this hobby ?
Cheers.

[tabula rasa]

Love them straps.

Edit - just look through the pix, love the stitch less straps, Scott. Are you able to give me any details on them (ie. what's available and the damage :) )
Thank you Sir

Ever used leather from a basketball? -Or do you think it's too thin?

That's a relic! :) From 2010 I think. I'm not using any new leather right now, only vintage.
