Started carving some designs in, yesterday. I’m doing some tooling on these lines, currently – give them that 3D look.

Ordered a background stamp, and if I like it, I’ll be using it for the stipled part. If not, I suppose I’ll leave it as-is. :upside_down_face: :upside_down_face: :upside_down_face:

Thanks! :smiley: Didn’t start out being so velociraptor-like, but hey, it’s weird. A weird, dead chicken. What’s not to like? LOL

Yeah, that is awesome. very nice work.
You should start a website advertising custom straps. Like the guy that makes the awesome, pricey, custom pick guards.

I’ve considered it for when I am ready to throw in the towel on software/web development. I also get a steady amount of work from regular-old illustration work, so at this point in my life and career I’m kinda looking for more hobbies than businesses :smiley: (not that I wouldn’t make a strap for someone if they really wanted something, of course)

I just replaced my narrow nylon strap with a wider, more comfortable padded leather one.

@NipperDog, That’s a great looking strap . . . :slight_smile:

Matches your bass very nicely, too!

Great strap. I need me a padded one too. I love brown straps that match the wooden theme on the bass so much. I have a similar theme too. It never gets old or stops looking classy.

Thanks @Jazzbass19 and @Bersist, I didn’t know if the color of the strap was too close to the color of the bass but when I put it on and tried it, I knew I’d be keeping it.
