What I'm thinking is you cut longer than you need, measure and cut how long you need by wrapping around, then punch holes (leather hole puncher???). I am wondering if you overlap it slightly to make sure no gaps where the wood is visible. This is what I am worried about. Do you fold over the leather where it is weaved together with the strip so you can't see the edge that was cut? I basically have never done this, can ya tell?
