Finally a weekend with no jobs going out, nothing to do but create. First is a seat with ostrich inlay and the other is a small of the back holster Ive been wanting to try

Same here, if you get back from the show and still have some to sell would be interested in having a crack at them. Rick

Joker, looks nice, what weight leather do you use on your kidney belts?

Just wanted to give a heads up on safariexoticleather.com, not sure if this is any indicator of there standard business practices but I bid on a croc skin on Ebay, bidding never went higher than a buck eighty, I guess they werent happy with that sale, totally understandable, been there myself, but thats what reserve prices are for. So instead of honoring the sale they informed me that they "had problems with their pricing" so were returning my money. Just wanted to share. I explained to them that it wasnt the best way to start off as a seller on Ebay with their very first feedback being a negative one. But I guess reputation doesnt mean a whole lot to some.

Billy try this www.deviantart.com. Rick

Same here Ed, whenever you decide to make a 32 oz I'll be on the list

Kevin, can I get the Browning Hi Power if its still available? Rick

Cool, be sure to post some pics, and if you have any questions feel free. I know how it is learning through trial and errror. Aggravating and expensive.

Billy, dont know if you have a kicker, but I know someone that makes brass knuckle kicker pedals, or are you wanting them to be removable? Just in case the wind picks up?

Thanks Troy Thanks Alex

Thanks Roo

Thanks Bro, wanted to show you one I just completed, thought you might appreciate it because of your Avatar

yes, gun belts was what I was talking about. Thanks

Can I take a quick survey of you guys to see which buckle you prefer, type and brand, for your belts

Nice seat, did one alot like it about a year ago, thought I had a pretty original idea

Thanks Rob, it's just a matter of practice, and the kangaroo helps, my stuff always looks better when I use Roo

Thanks Guys

I just posted some pics in the Show Off section of a seat I just finished in black shark if you wanna check it out

One I did over the weekend, shark inlay with kangaroo lace on a Kevin Bass seat pan

those prices on that website are no longer current, you may want to request a print catalog from them before ordering.

Any body have any experience with the Tandy Royal Meadow leather? Just wandering about the plusus and minusus

Thanks Kevin, thats what I was hoping youd say

Thanks Art, I'll check with these guys, also thanks for checking at W&C. About Hermann Oak, dont they have a 10 side min?

Most of the seats I sell go on daily riders or bikes that are ridden hard on the weekends, most of these guys have no problem with leather that looks like leather, such as fat wrinkles, etc. And I usually get the Hermann Oak from Kevin or Zack Whites Premium Bull hides which are always great leathers. But a few times a year I get commissioned to do a seat fro a 40, 50 or 60 thousand dollar show bike thats gonna be nit picked and judged by some very critical eyes. For these situations Id like to always have a supply of as close to flawless pieces that I can get. I use 6-7 or 7-8 oz primarily and I dont have a problem with the price on something like this, so Id appreciate any suggestions from you guys, and Kevin feel free to chime in if youve got something for me. Thanks Rick

Thanks Dave, Im kinda leaning towards leaving them on myself. Rick
