that looks anazing. Great job.  The leather looks like it's from a dog leash. Pretty cool

@Vetryan15 - it's the same leather I use for making dog leashes. It's expensive and dulls my knife blades really quick but it's worth the cost and extra effort.

So pricing now...
If I were to sell it as is, with burnished edges and the stamped accents, I would want $45.
If one wanted a more affordable option, I can leave out the stamped accents and leave the edges unburnished although still rounded off for $30.
Seem fair?

On the first page is a full picture. Damn it looks nice... I dread to think what the shipping would be and I'll never be able to justify out to the significant other.

@CA, the first page has the  full pic.

@Tomas. It definitely looked like the dog leash leather,  it's really heavy duty stuff.  I personally think it's a great deal.

@kicktheotter- based on a previous sling trade from SITH exchange, I think I shipped the sling to Germany for about $12 Canadian currency

Thanks as well Vetryan15, I was going to charge more but I enjoy this community and couldn't bring myself to do it.

So this would be 39€ including shipping? If the converter is right anyway. Hmmm... It does look very nice...

What sort of dimensions does it have?

You might indeed but I expect to be quite busy so no guarantee I'll be able to participate.

Now that I see the stitching close up - def. no need for whipping, which would be strictly a matter of aesthetics. I happen to like it but it would take away from your design.  Really nice work!
