Worker Bee Guitar Strap

Two little bees and a few stacks of wood rounds make up the Worker Bee Guitar Strap. This strap is branded by hand and then the bees are painted gold, and it has an antique tan wash. The orangey tan of the strap would look beautiful with any wood-tone guitar.

I start with a tooling leather then cut, brand, paint, and dye it, and then apply a protective coat to keep it safe from the elements. Because I use a thick tooling leather, it will soften up quickly but maintain its shape and will last for many years (I've seen ones 40 years old with life still left in them made from the same type of leather). All sides of the strap have been dyed and protected, too, so the dye won't redeposit on clothes or instruments.
