Contributing Member ClayB Posted March 29, 2007 Contributing Member Report Posted March 29, 2007 Hey Wolvenstien, you been talking to my wife? She is always telling me that I am too picky! I usually try to be pretty careful about what I actually say about someone else's work. Sometimes it's hard to tell some things from a picture. In this case, I remember doing the same thing David was doing when I learned how to lace, and how much better it looked when I finally figured out what I didn't get. As for picking nits, that sounds a little bit........um.... Gross! But it kinda reminds me of that new song by Brad Paisley, called "I'd like to check you for ticks". Now that could be interesting, depending on...........Ok, back to leatherwork ) Quote ClayB Badlands Leather Art blog Badlands Leather Art Website

Thanks for pointing out what I was doing. Dave Quote
Roger Posted April 9, 2007 Report Posted April 9, 2007 wow dave! that is quite a bunch of seats going at once!! i find more time than not, it's easy to talk the customer out of black. it's just that is what they are used to. if i do have to make it all black i tool a bit differently. less detail and more texture to help it stand out as much as possible Quote

Joe makes 6 seat backs, I do 6 seat fronts, Joe prepares 6 seat pans with padding and other chores to rivet the backs in place; I tool 6 seat backs, and lace 6 tops to the pans and backs, Then we dye 6 seats. And ship 6 seats....much cheaper than shipping them individually. Here are the last three.... They will go out today. Dave Theobald Quote
ETW Grumpy Posted April 11, 2007 Report Posted April 11, 2007 I really like that middle seat, David. What color is that? Really great work. Quote
Guest Posted April 11, 2007 Report Posted April 11, 2007 I really like that middle seat, David. What color is that? Really great work. Hey Grumpy, Thanks for replying and I'm glad you like the seat. That seat is dyed with Tandy Pro Dye Buckskin #22056-10 and then antiqued with Fiebing's Sheridan Brown antiquing finish. The final finish is Fiebing's Leather Balm with atom wax. This is by far my favorite color for leather finishing. Dave Theobald Quote
