Not for sure what styles you're looking for but I get mine here www.accufast2d.com and fast at shipping too.

I love Stickley too! Nice for a first try. Sometimes I think dying is trial and error. The more you do the better you'll get. Good job!

Thanks for the pictorial too! It's interesting to see how it all comes together.

Just beautiful! Love the all colors and the meticulous stitching. Fine work! Do you have anything else to show us?

Very nice! Can you clue me in on what Royal Meadow is? I guess I need to look it up.

That is COOL! I love everything about it.

Very, very nice Spinner. You've been busy! I really like the wrapped side covers and the twist off pocket idea. Very cool!

Very nice, I like the mexican braid too!

I wasn't going to comment but, I know what Ferg is saying and some people just spit it out. Hopefully Ferg doesn't spit it out on any of MY work... lol... But about the tape measure, practice will make you better. Some people just have a knack or talent for just about anything they put their hands to. If leatherwork is something you enjoy, each piece should show improvement. I know that you will look back on past pieces and say" Ew, I made that??" I HAVE DONE THIS! So just continue to move ahead on the next project and scour the forum for help. There's alot of information that's invaluable here. Good luck.

Also where did you get your rivets? They look very nice. Thanks

Yes, your phone takes photos like mine. Looks like a good job though and show us the finished product too. Your mother will love it!

Nice job! I like the color variation. What are you forming the leather to in the 1st photo? Are you using a rubber cement to hold it in place while drying?

The stand is a great idea for showing. Nice job!

Nice! Smart thinking on changing them to black-eyed susans!!

BEAU-TI-FUL!!! Another fine looking seat!

Nice work. Very unusual stuff! I looked at your web site too. Interesting. Who do you sell to?

I think I would use the wet form method. ..If you case the leather well and form this with your fingers in the butt cheek areas and then use (office binder clips) all around the pan this should work. I don't have a photo at the moment of how I use the clips.The clips are very strong and will stay in place. I would suggest though to place something protective under the clip so you won't have permanent clip marks in the leather You will need to let this dry out completely before you handle it again. Here is a seat I made with the clip method.

Very nice job! What did you use for the base on the pillion? Some use thick leather. Just curious.

Cool! Really like the Tiki guitar strap!

Wow, looks fantastic.... Can you tell me if you end your lacing the way the books say to or do you have a better way of doing this? When I end my lace I feel it's not secure enough and I don't want it coming apart as time goes on. Thanks

Beau-ti-ful ! Nice touch with ladybug. What did you use for the small center parts?

Spinner, Thanks for all the info about the leather. That helps me make the decision to bump up in quality.

Really, really NICE! I see you use W&C leather. I have been wanting to try their leather but noticed on their site I have to buy a whole side. Can you tell me if it's worth the cost to buy from them? I've used Springfield leather and Tandy only.

Seat finally finished for customer.
