...and I was bored so I decided to darken and distress one of my straps. I was going after the vintage look and I am quite pleased with the results. I am wearing the strap as I type. It is super soft and very comfortable.
The light tan strap in the back in the project.

Here is the first stage, some baseball glove oil, a few seconds in the microwave and overnight to dry. Still not dark enough to really go with.

After drying it was ready so I got a bit a sandpaper, then more oil and finally a coat of mink oil to seal and waterproof it. The finished product, VIOLA. It is now an instant favorite of my collection. It is amazing what I do when I am bored, maybe I should start drinking again.
