I am about to do a seat similar to this one and was wondering how to lay out the holes on the side piece of leather ?
The top is simple but when transfering the hole to the side piece wouldn't I end up with more holes since it is a larger piece of material?
Nogg, Great job on this one!!
I am about to do a similar style seat for a customer any tips on the lacing process would be great.
I myself have never done that style lacing so anything would greatly be appreciated.

So here's the seat I did for Trent over at Biker Metric . For his Freedom Or Death build.
This seat was a little different to do because, Trent is a graphic designer and lets just say "He likes layers upon layers. I had to simplify it and reduce the layers but I think I got pretty damn close to the original design.
Anyways enjoy and thanks for looking!
Another way of preventing this is to line the back of the leather with blue painters tape before you tool anything on it. This really helps the leather not stretch and make sure that your leather is not soaking wet.
A buddy of mine called me up and said he needed a bag to carry a 12 pack when he's on longer rides. this is what i came up with it slips over the back of his sissy bar and sits on a custom luggage rack .

To answer your question the skull is not dyed or painted. It is simply the natural leather. I have applied neatsfoot oil and tan- kote thou.
