  4. thanks Billio8 ...the colors are alcohol base black for the seat and Antique for the Skull, both given with BRUSH.... that is why I'm interested in airbrushing..... thanks to you all for your info about airbrush....
  5. ok friends...here is my latest saddle...my own. Next will be with a western style cow skull....and I would like to learn to use airbrush, that arrived yesterday by mail, do you have any suggestion ? Some web site where to learn from? thanks to everyone in advance Sergio
  6. Thanks James...No I do not use vinegaroon or similar things ( I have never seen that thing!) ...here we use alcohol based dye, made in Italy, obviously (Nero d'Inferno is the name of the product) About the how to do that work with wet-leather....it depends from many factors ...one of them is our leather tanning, other is the position of design....and - not the last reason- the way to use the hands molding the leather around the foam....look more on FACEBOOK : Sergio Falco)
  7. Thanks...and if you like sheats, knipes.....and so on please check what is doing FRANCESCO NOVA (Facebook) we work toghether and he is very known in Italy.....
