A bit of leather work - dog collar
« on: March 04, 2012, 05:23:41 pm »
I was bored a while back so I decided to try my hand at making a new collar for my lab.  Bailey wanted to show it off, so she sat and modelled it while I snapped a couple pics.  It's sort of a mash-up of a few different ideas I had.  I wanted to make something "beefy", so I used a big 1 3/4" wide buckle.  I used veg-tanned leather lined with elk hide.  If I made another I'd do it differently, but the one thing I really like is having the loop on top to hook a leash onto.

Here are a few pics for anyone that might be interested.

Beautiful Cam! Any Lab worth his weight would be proud to have a collar like that.

Beautiful work Cam - did you see the query about someone looking to get leather work done for them? I think you could do them justice.

Thanks guys.  Bubs - I've been wanting to design something with some Keltic knot-work for a while now,  this seemed like a good project to try it on.

Eddie, I think she may be the most well behaved dog on the planet.  Night and day compared to my last one  ::)

Yosemiteben - Thanks.  I did see that post, but couldn't make heads or tails of what was being asked! :)

Cam, my Chocolate was the same way. She was my constant hunting companion and was always with me, cried like a baby when I had to put her down. By the way she came from the north shore of Lake Ontario. My buddy I guided one year down here for turkeys ran a duck and goose hunting lodge there. She was my tip. :)

Cam that's one fine looking collar. Fine work amigo. That lab is the prettiest dog I have seen in awhile.  What type of hunts do you take her on?
