Sucker Punch skull

I must have done a hundred of these over the last several years, but this one I did after glassing the leather. I wanted to see if it gave better depth and definition as I had been told.

Without a doubt the glassing tool works. The surface is smoother and the tooling deeper.

If you don't have a glassing tool, contact Barry King.

Killer seat. I have a noob question for you... How do you get such a nice fade in the leather stain. It goes from light in the center to a deeper shade of tan/brown on the edges. Airbrush?

Have you noticed any difference in the dye or finish since using the glassing tool? Nice work, as usual.

Andy,

I have an ancient Paasche double action airbrush, and an even older Miller compressor. They get the job done.

Johanna,

Thanks, I am also glad it isn't black. By the way this is the seat with 99 on top and 100 on the bottom. Glad I have a wife who sews. Her suggestion just skip a hole on the bottom somewhere near the front where they are closer together. Worked like a charm.

Dave

Crystal,

Absolutely no difference in the dye or antiquing.

Oooooo! I don't remember seeing the finger cuts on the bottom on your previous projects... is that something new or have I just not been paying attention? :blink: Either way, beautiful work, as always!

I looked at your pictures David before reading your post and was gonna ask ya if you changed your finish or was using a different type of leather. That turned out really nice. The finish is excellent.

Hey Kate,

Got to pay attention and take notes there will be a quiz. Just kidding, this is about the third or fourth seat that I added something fingercut to the backside.

Glad you like it.

These pics are one of the first that got the treatment
