Very nice............one question...........why does the seat look like a completely different color in the shot on the frame as opposed to on the bench. I realize the lighting is different, but it literally looks like a different seat. IMHO

Pre airbrush dying and after. I assemble seat, then dye. More specifically. ..

I Dip dye natural kangaroo lace. Lace. Airbrush dye seat with fiebings and denatured alcohol mix. Resist 2 coats of rtc. Antique with fiebings cut with tan kote. Then, 3 coats resolene.

Dying after assembly cuts down the chance of an undyed section showing through.
