 Not been over-productive lately, but at least managed to make these two 24mm.
First a honey-tanned rich leather, with black waxed thread.
The leather has been treated with bear fat (yes really:0) after I was finished with it, that leaves a ultra soft and oilish leather, and a honey brown colour. And no, it does not smell of bear, hehe. But maybe I need to take extra care when out in the woods wearing it?





Next a strap made of a pair of old non-issued Norwegian combat boots (M-77) with waxed thread. The tread took up a little TO much of the wax, so it will be more withish over time as the wax wear of a bit.


As seen on the sides of this one, there is no coating to the sides but a rough edge, and that´s the way I wanted it as it looks nice with the contrasting black and grey leather imo. And thinking of mounting it on my Sea Devil, so that´s why the Benarus buckle:0)
