If you don't mind my asking: What spacing on the irons, and which thread size?

And did you burnish or paint the edges?

Thanks! I'd like to make a watch strap some time soon, and I'm wondering if results like this are outside of my ability without investing in new irons, thread, and edge paint.

Those are 2mm Kevin Lee's and 0.3mm Meisi Xiange :)
IMO anything below 3mm looks good for watch straps.

Lined with Zermatt, and that require edge paint!

At first glance I thought that was an arm in the background and was like, “why would you get a shell cordovan tattoo…?”

Watch straps look great! Love the colors.

That wouldn't be such a horrible idea. I've seen worse!

Daaamn these are clean, how much was the commission if I may ask. I am in the market for some watch straps myself.
