Sucker Punch threw me a curve with this last order. They wanted me to go back to some of the older trademarks. So here is the result. Both seats have the "fast basketweave" that Shirley showed us a while back. Comments and critiques welcome as always. The seat with the black kangaroo lace will be a black to tan fade or maybe an all black version of the seat. David Theobald

This was a new learning experience for me...the tank was longer than any I've worked with so far and the client wanted full length versus the normal ones I make that come up about 1/2 way under the dash. The effect was great and allowed me to run the studs all the way over the tank creating a nice horizon effect. After the wet-forming, the bib dimensions are: 27" long, 12" wide and 6" deep (there is another 1-3" of leather wrapped under the tank). Studs are rivet-on 12mm chrome domed spots set 1 1/4" apart on center to match the aftermarket seat the client has. W&C 6oz. with 1/8" kangaroo lace - triple loop lacing with extended tooth for the herringbone effect.

I'm just finishing up this holster I made for my brother inlaw. I never make anything for anyone but myself, but he has been bothering me for about 2 years. I thought I'd get it over with. Regards Buff

Hey guys been working on a windshield bag for a guy at work thats gonna go on his roadking. Ill get the rest of the pics should be done today or tomorrow. Basically used the pattern pack for the fork bag but we made a bracket and Im covering that with leather. Its gonna be black so figured I would post a couple of shots of the tooling. I was happy with the basketweave but the screws I could of done better on I think. The dolphins were ok. Oh and for anyone that doesnt know the dolphins are what submariners get when they are finished with there qualifications. Most countries have some semplence of them for there submarine fleet.
