Finished with this muzzle! It's an absolute beast, and the most complex project I've ever done! There was -so- much to learn with this, from the design to the form to all the small details. There were many new challenges, and I look forward to more like it! #furry #leatherwork

Yep every piece of hardware is brass! From the buckles to the screw posts to the grommets, nothing is plated--Every bit is full, solid brass. There are even brass friction washers between the pieces that swivel/rotate, to help things glide along and stay consistent!

Got everything re-burnished and finished, and the edges coated in Resolene acrylic sealer! I left the muzzle without a sealer as this leather didn't like it and looks much better without. This photo representst about 7 hours of burnishing and finishing! #furry #leatherwork

Lots of progress today! Got the new straps stitched, punched, and detailed. Fitted everything up and got some of the sizing placements for the vertical strap done. Need to finish up doing all the buckle holes on that strap and then it's time for detailed finishing!

Daily project update! Liners being finished up, trimming the excess wrap material and getting everything flat and even. Then worked on putting the finish and final burnish on the collar handle!

Mikhail was always a boisterous cub, usually rough housing with the other kids, pups, and cubs his age. But he found ways to occupy himself whenever company was scarce on the farm.

Back to customer projects today! Continuing the re-do on the muzzle straps and while the dye is drying, I turned my attention to this collar handle. So much sanding! Got the handle all put together and biased (tension between the layers so it's stiff) and rounded off, then dyed!

Got the rest of the buckle holes punched! Working on making a bit of darker patina across the holes, to give a jump-start on the 'well used' effect! It will lighten up as the dye dries, and should blend nicely!

Some shots of the stitching! The channels ended up good, but I would cut them shallower if used on a customer's project. This was a great experiment and makes for a good prototype!
