I have enough leather to make three-sets of wide strap if someone wants to provide the hardware and labor.......I only need one wide-set made for my own use....just not enough time and so many projects........
I can also provide photos, and "tracings"/template of the straps off my original for the guy that is making them for me.

this is project #2 for me this year. I already have the hardware lined up. I just need those templates :D I also am pricing out the leather stamps so I can mark them with the lower case German fonts

Like I said....I will supply the "templates and leather to the person who will make them (labor) and supply the hardware.
They can meet me off-line with photos of their leather work and hardware at:

Leather is standing by.
