Not an entire leg, just this part:  s-l1600 by Larry Madsen, on Flickr I have the Pawn Shop Yellow guitar project coming together. I decided I should extend it on out to include a custom guitar strap in the appropriate "Fuel" theme. While looking for some yellow leather to incorporate into the strap I stumbled onto ostrich legs. I couldn't help myself. Since its in Arizona it should show up here in Vegas pretty quickly. I'll keep you posted on this silly project. |

It's a start: Keeping it pretty simple.  IMG_4728 by Larry Madsen, on Flickr It isn't permanently together yet. Hopefully it conveys the fuel/flame theme. I wasn't settling on a good idea with more complex approaches. This certainly brings the yellow color in to focus. I intend to lace the edges in black. It will utilize a black Schaller strap lock at the tip. Edited to add: I moved a bit further into the theme here. For better or for worse, this is what I have.   IMG_4729 by Larry Madsen, on Flickr |

Here is where the crazy ostrich leg strap is at right now.  IMG_4742 by Larry Madsen, on Flickr Not sure if I have flames on there or rain drops It's cartoonish ... That's for sure.  |

Thanks for the kind words, Geno. It's certainly bright enough to be quite eye catching. Now I just need to get it assembled. In that PIC it's just sort of "stacked up" there. |

The strap is complete, just need to get the adjuster tail finished. Here are the "Ostrich" aspects. Solid yellow scaled front. Transition to black designed to resemble the Pawn Shop guitar head stock shape.  IMG_4795[1] by Larry Madsen, on Flickr Back side with some yellow "Flame" ... "Raindrop" (you decide) design on the back side.  IMG_4796[1] by Larry Madsen, on Flickr I still say it is a bit cartoonish, but it is different from anything else I have ... or have done. I'll get the adjuster tail done and post a PIC of the full-length strap. All done and on the strap rack.
