How true Clinton. We were gonna put some designs up on mineclank but got sidetracked as far as getting proper pictures into it. Like Bill, 100% of my work has been custom order by word of mouth for the last 13 years, but it wouldn't hurt to get a few things up there. I'll get on the case....it's not like I couldn't use the money!

Bill, I generally do banjo straps 2 1/2" ('cause good banjos are REALLY heavy) Guitar...2" and mandolin 1 3/4". 'Course some folks have very specific ideas...which is nice.

Yeah, you need a "Long Cow" for a Rock and roll strap!

Another little trick I use for burnishing sides is to take one of those flexible soft rubber sanding blocks...cut a "V" shaped groove in it (bout a quarter inch deep) and glue a piece of canvas to the block. Just wet the edge and start rubbin'.....you get some "powerful" friction. Works pretty fast.

By the way...used my electric drill with the "buffing cylinder" once, and frigged up the whole strap!! Tried to be a little TOO quick.
