    Guitar strap for a veteran!

    I was commissioned to make a guitar strap for one of our servicemen. He is shipping out for his 4th tour in the Middle East in November, so how could I refuse? I have to say that I'm really proud of this one! I think it's some of my nicest tooling and coloring to date!
