Thanks.  I discovered while making that one that black edge-coat is a PITA to do with light leathers -- especially ones with a little nap/fuzz to them.  I had to chuck half of that strap in the garbage and start over when I slipped with the Q-tip and smeared edge coat on the face of the strap.  With oiled leathers it just wipes off, but not in this case...

But it's all a learning experience, and fun!
