New hides

[atomic]

So I was at the Montreal F1 Paneristi GTG this past weekend and did a 'strap exchange' with a fellow strap maker. Kinda cool to have someone else make you a custom strap and you make one for him.

As an added bonus, this fellow decided to bring an added surprise for me, since I'd been lamenting how the selection of hides was pathetic in my area. So he brought me four swatches of hide, enough to make about 10-15 straps.

Here's my first two, and sadly they exhausted the supply of this beautiful butter soft hide. The unstitched one is one for me, for my 210. The stitched one is outgoing to John B, aka Launch Mini along with a couple of other tan ones I posted a week or so ago.

Looking good, can't wait till friday to see them in the flesh. Need to make sure I bring my tools to work so I can swap out right away.
BTW, you selling these yet? Cuz we don't want no shilling going on at this forum. lol

LMAO... no worries. That guy is grumpy at the best of times.

Thanks for the kind words. I think I'm close to being ready to start selling, but I need more selection in hides. I plan on doing a road trip to a place in Quebec soon... until then, I basically have the light tan and the swatches you see in the lower left of the photo.
