Leather apron

[Christophe Mineau]

Hi,

Here is a leather apron, made for the shop.


I was inspired by a great luthier friend of mine who has one similar, and also by my grand'ma who had an apron with crossed straps on the back, which is more confortable than the usual strap that goes around the neck, and which also permits to make a larger front.

The leather was salvaged from an old sofa and the buttons are home made, turned out of boxwood. (I don't like plastic buttons )

Other singularity, the front pocket for pencils and rulers is sloping, which allows to easily store pencils, either long and new or used and shortened by many sharpenings :
