3" wide?  :shock:

What is it, a tow strap?

Ol' dummy here would like to know; Is it possible to weave a strap that is larger, or wider, on one end or the maybe the middle, than it is on the other end(s)?

(Keep in mind I don't know "squat" about what you're doing, or how you really do it...although I have watched you work that loom  before...and, one time Lady Smith even tried to show me a little bit on her small hand loom but her fingers were to fast for these old eyes.... I suspect I was just to amazed at the finished product to grasp the entire procedure.
That, plus the fact that anymore I have the attention span of a big ol' Grasshopper.)

Sure that 5" strap isn't a brace for dunlap disease?  You know, where your belly dun lapped over your belt.
