Here is my WPG bag and a home made strap.

Good looking bag and strap, Randy.

You gotta market those things.

Nothin' wrong with that

Thank you very much!

Not bad! Not bad at all!!! Regards. Michaelson

Top notch dude. Compliments that WPG very nicely (that cheap strap it came with, although the buckle on the WPG strap is OK). My only critique is that the buckle on yours does seem a little round. Don't misinturpet me, I love it, and hope you will share the technique of making the strap assembly with us(I'm really ready to replace my WPG one). Well done, well done.

Bravo!

Renderking Fisk and Indiana James said it best. Please market those, while I drool

Regards, Daryl.

Thanks alot guys! I think it could be a little darker. I'll try some brown Pecards on it.

Yes, the buckle is a little to round but I can change that(when I find a good
replacement).

Do you guys think I could market the strap? If I did I would need to charge about $30 per strap.

Where did you say you got that strap leather, with the lines on it?

It would be tough to market it at that price, becuase thats how much Mr. Keppler charges...!

I used a 72inch natural cowhide strap. I dyed it brown (I need a darker brown dye), used a creaser to add the lines to the strap, and polished it with drown shoe wax to darken it and give it a weather look.

True, I would need to beat $30. Hmm. . .

Think about how much it costs to make one. Then figure out how much it would cost to get your supplies in bulk, and how you could get it in bulk. Also, if dye has any real effect on the price, consider selling them undyed (or at least offering them). Hope this helps!

Yeah, thats what I have been doing. I may try to find some latigo cowhide straps. The brown is much deeper in color and I wouldn't need to dye it.
