Cubic Hare 494 Posted October 16, 2015 That looks wicked Ian..well done mate! Thanks Todd.. I even amaze myself sometimes.. haha If I don't see you before, enjoy your trip over the pond.. Be safe and have fun... Here's what my leather dealer came up with for me today.. Fish - Yellow and a Brown Barramundi, Orange Carp and he told me what the blue was but I forget.. it's gorgeous... Toads (He lives in the bush I reckon he's "golf clubbing" these himself). and Eels (again, Hmmm, he has dams). The pink one is for the Mrs, she's been at me to make her a strap for ages.. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cubic Hare 494 Posted October 16, 2015 He also gave me this: It's a piece of cowhide topped with light refracting disco mirrors (for the want of a better description) It lights up all colours of the rainbow as light reflects from it. Not entirely sure what to do with it just yet but maybe something will pop into my head... Something very bling perhaps? Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cubic Hare 494 Posted October 16, 2015 And a couple I finished today. Both 26/26 one Black and Tan black stitched Python and the other is a thicker style Green Cane Toad. and Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
black263 228 Posted October 16, 2015 Loving the work you have done here , some great textures and great work . Knowing the humour on this forum I notice no one has asked about foreskin ,,, of course ethnically sourced :-) Foreskin strap on a diving watch would be awesome. Wouldn't need a diving extension. Just give it a rub and it would resize to fit over a suit. :suck: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
black263 228 Posted October 16, 2015 Workin' on a Yellow Toady today. Black stitching tomorrow and she's done.. Since having my heart attack at the gym last Monday and being forced to take time off and just sit and relax I have been enjoying making these things..Learn as I go. I do have some Elephant on the way.. Ethically sourced ofcourse. Heart attack at a gym? Confirms my theory that exercise is dangerous. When you're born, your heart has a number stamped on it. It beats that number of times, then stops. If you exercise, it beats faster, and you get there sooner. :suck: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cubic Hare 494 Posted October 23, 2015 Going to try this Yellow Barramundi stitched in black on my Yellow Seawolf Avenger. Doing two today, one with black backing leather one with natural, see which is better with probably enough leftover for a third. so far spent most of the morning shaving the back of the leather. Who knew fish was so damn hairy.. thick, black, wax stitching. old and new and the first one is done.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cubic Hare 494 Posted October 23, 2015 The result looks amazing!!!!! Congrats!!!! Thanks Alex, yes, I'm happy the way this one turned out. I have another almost finished as well but with black backing leather and black sides, I'll see which I like the best once that one is finished. Are any of these for sale? If so pm me plz I mostly make straps for my own collection but sometimes I have leftover bits and pieces or a strap I made didn't turn out what I thought it would be in my head so I occasionally have a strap or two that I sell. What did you like? Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
millionaire wannabe 1 Posted October 23, 2015 These are all very wild and amazing-really nice work!

If you can give me a heads up on where to get ANY of those I'd appreciate it. None of those are indigenous to Australia except maybe the Bat, we do have bats but I'm not sure anyone is tanning them. Oh we have Cougars too but I'm too old for them to even glance sideways at me. No chance of catching one of those.. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
