We received some specs for a custom leather guitar strap order. After corresponding with our customer to discuss the personalization required, we designed this unique handmade guitar strap. We handcraft everything in our leather shop located in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. We hand set the studs, inlaid the leather stars, embossed the names, dyed the leather, and hand painted the lettering. On the underneath side, we added foam padding and covered it with a soft garment leather for comfort for long jam sessions with a heavier guitar.

Our leather knife sheaths handmade in Canada require numerous steps from drafting the pattern to final assembly. This knife sheath being assembled at our leather shop in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia gives you a glimpse at the leatherworking progression for this product. A leather welt is cut to insert between the leather layers to prevent the knife blade from cutting the harness thread. Thick full grain leather is used in the construction of the knife sheath. Whether you are curious as to how the leather sheaths are constructed so you can make your own or have one custom made, we supply the leatherwork tools and leathercraft supplies to make your own or we can handmade a leather sheath for you.

This Keen Edge Beveler Tool for Leatherwork rounds the sharp edges of veg tan leather. By removing the leather on the top edge, a nice round finished edge is left. The higher the tool number, the more leather that is removed from the edge.
