Making a Custom Leather Pickguard for my Stratocaster [DIY]

In this video I am carving a Sheridan Style layout on a veg tan leather pickguard. I hope I managed to give you an idea of the process in just a 10 minutes video against several hours of work and recording.
Stay until the end to see the final result!
Since I was dreaming about becoming a leather crafter, I've always wanted to make a custom pickguard for my first electric guitar, my beloved Strat. There it is, finally done, despite de Quervain's tenosynovitis that afflicted both my wrists from last summer.

Hi where did you get the pattern? Thank you Steve

[@CUOIOSONORO]

Hi Steve, I used my old pickguard to trace the pattern. Don't know if you meant that or the layout. The floral design has been taken from a book called Sheridan Style Carving.

Complimenti!! davvero un bel manufatto :) Per avere la giusta rigidità viene incollato su una plastica o usi del cuoio piuttosto spesso?

[@CUOIOSONORO]

Grazie mille! In questo caso ho utilizzato un cuoio di 2mm incollato su una plastica semi-rigida di 1mm di spessore!

[@smorfia86]

@@CUOIOSONORO Brava!! ottimo lavoro :)

[@frankryan8100]

Did you bake it afterword for rigidity or glue it onto a rigid backer? Great work! I’m inspired to do something like this on my custom guitars a la Hutchinson Guitars et al.

[@CUOIOSONORO]

No cooking involved, I glued a rigid layer!
