Hello,

I recently had the privilege of making a strap from some of the rarest leather around, 226 year old leather from the Metta Catharine shipwreck. Here’s the backstory: http://www.nytimes.com/2002/04/28/n…from-under-the-sea.html?pagewanted=all&src=pm

A customer gave me a bit more than a square foot in trade, I made this strap for him and get to keep the rest. The customer supplied for some specific dimensions.
