David Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 (edited) I decided to modify the new Sucker Punch trademark to make a more interesting piece of seat art. Wonder what their opinion will be? Please feel free to vote and/or leave a message. Dave Edited January 24, 2009 by David Quote
Contributing Member Jordan Posted January 24, 2009 Contributing Member Report Posted January 24, 2009 I like all your seats, but even though I voted yes, I think the birds look a little to disney-ish for a motorcycle seat. Quote

Hey Jordan, I can't take credit for the birds, the are tattoo flash and have been used before on SPS seats. Thanks for the comments and for taking a look. Dave Quote

Josh Josh, I lay the holes out on a master pattern and use dividers to space the holes. The lace pattern is a modified basket weave. Whereever the basket weave says go under, go over instead. In other words it is a simple go 3 forward and 2 back repeating weave. Very simple and quick to do. I learned it from ShirleyZ. I use 1/4" kangaroo lace in 1/8" holes. Thanks, Dave Theobald Quote
MADMAX22 Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 The seat looks great over all as allways. You do a fantastic job of carving and contstruction. I have to agree with Jordon in the fact that I dont really like the style of the birds for some reason. I like the other birds you were doing on the SPS seats. You did a good job on them its just the style. However thats just me. Quote

David Posted January 24, 2009 Author Report Posted January 24, 2009 (edited) The birds do look bit different on this seat which is also my business card. Same birds, but they do come off differently Dave Edited January 24, 2009 by David Quote
Timd Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 I get, and like the birds. I used to see them tattooed on the old salt bosun's mates when I was in Uncle Sam's canoe club. Quote
Members ValinorKings Posted January 25, 2009 Members Report Posted January 25, 2009 I think it looks excellent Dave! They should like that design, it's modern old school just like their bikes. The sparrows are a deeper cut into traditional tattoo flash than most people are familiar with and you translated them wonderfully to leather. A+++ as always. -The Wolf PS- I tried that modified basket weave you suggested with a florentine lace and it came out awesome! Quote
