Guest Posted December 10, 2007 Report Posted December 10, 2007 A customer called Donny at Sucker Punch this week and ordered a custom seat....He wanted one like the Smokeout seat that I did earlier this year....except he wanted me to omit the center art work.... I thought it sounded strange, but it actually looks pretty good, I think. Any and all feedback welcomed. Dave here is a photo of the Smokeout and the new one also. Quote
Members skip Posted December 10, 2007 Members Report Posted December 10, 2007 Very nice seat. Just curious if you have ever tried making a slit instead of a hole to do you edge braiding? I would gather that you do the hole because it is less time consuming. your seats are great! Quote
Members johnny7 Posted December 10, 2007 Members Report Posted December 10, 2007 Dave, that seat looks great. Are you going to do it in the same colors? Johnny Quote
outcast Posted December 10, 2007 Report Posted December 10, 2007 Dave, looks great as always! Love to look at your work for inspiration. Steve Quote Steve I am not of this world....set apart....an outcast. http://s233.photobucket.com/albums/ee215/outcastleatherworx/
Guest Posted December 10, 2007 Report Posted December 10, 2007 Skip, The slit isn't really practical due to the amount of "pull" that I put on the lacing. A slit would be far too apt to tear. Dave Johnny, I think I will do something very similar as far as color goes. Dave Quote
Members bustedlifter Posted December 10, 2007 Members Report Posted December 10, 2007 Dye it black. Just kidding! Quote
Members bcurrier Posted December 10, 2007 Members Report Posted December 10, 2007 Dave, that seat looks great. Are you going to do it in the same colors? Johnny I have to say I really like the plainer new seat even better than the tooled seat. I like it lighter, too. Very refined looking and beautiful workmanship. Quote
Guest Posted December 10, 2007 Report Posted December 10, 2007 I really liked the art on the Smokeout 8 seat, but I am really pleased with the plain version also. I hesitate to give a color preference because I have come to really appreciate the look of un-dyed plain leather. Dave Quote

I like how the lacing stands out on the light leather. Shame to lose the contrast to a dark dye. Quote
Guest Posted December 11, 2007 Report Posted December 11, 2007 I would love to do just a wax finish and let the sun do the rest, but the customer ordered "the Smokeout seat with a plain center"....So I guess that pretty well decides it for me. Dave Quote
