skull seat & chop hill

[Roger]

thanks for the compliment abn.

i guess it's a matter of priorities... any time i have for leather, i pretty much spend on customer's stuff.

i will have to break down and make myself a belt soon. i want to make a linned belt and saddle stitch it so, it will take quite a bit of time. i did have my father make a new jaw for my stitching pony. he made it about 20 years ago and the original jaws were small and shallow. i had him add quite a bit of depth and the clamping area is now about 6" instead of the 3.5". anyway.... i need to make a new strap it before i can use it.

here is the skull seat finished up.

I really like the way that seat turned out. I like the pattern, how the leather looks ripped open with the carving inside. I also like how you colored it, leaving the more natural colored leather showing. I think the contrast with the black really makes it stand out.

All you seat makers continue to impress me each time you share pictures.

thanks clay!

it was originally going to be all black and i think that would of been ashame. i talked him into leaving natural.

i try to improve somewhere with each project i do. i have a couple tool bags to work on and then it's back to seats!
