Les B Leather Carving Tips..Straps, Cases etc. (15) RE: Leather Carving Tips..Straps, Cases etc. 18 Jun 01


Bill & Rick - not to take away from your beautiful carved straps, but for mandolin I just go to a saddlery, or horse tack shop, and buy a pair of bridle reins for about $13(US).

They're about 5/8" wide, are strong enough to easily hold the instrument, and have a neat little decorative knot at one end. With a hole punch and a sharp knife I can get two mando straps with the knots, and another two without the knots out of one set of reins - about $3.50 a strap, I reckon.
