New Sucker Punch Seat

[David]

I decided to modify the new Sucker Punch trademark to make a more interesting piece of seat art.

Wonder what their opinion will be?

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.

Dave got a couply questions for you,

First off how do you get those holes punched so evenly spaced do have a template or what's the method

Second, what's the lacing pattern do you use on those seats a round braid or what is it

Third, what size lace do you use

Fourth you are a very talnted man thank you for posting.

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.

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,

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.

It's got a nice cleaness to it....good detail without being too 'busy'/complicated.

The birds do look bit different on this seat which is also my business card. Same birds, but they do come off differently

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.

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.

PS- I tried that modified basket weave you suggested with a florentine lace and it came out awesome!
