Members 2MadJacks Posted April 10, 2009 Members Report Posted April 10, 2009 David, It definetly looks great with the lighter color and the highliter(?) in the tooling. Outstanding work as always and a great inspiration! Thanks for sharing, James Quote

Outstanding work as always and a great inspiration! Thanks for sharing, James Thanks for looking James, I antiqued the RockStar seat first and I thought that this batch of leather looked a bit too reddish with just Sheridan Paste antiquing so I mixed some medium brown into the Sheridan. It gave it a nice color, I thought. David Theobald Quote
Ian Posted April 10, 2009 Report Posted April 10, 2009 Dave, I should be posting this in the 'folks that inspire you' thread. Your work is flawless. If I could even come close to your results, I'd be a happy guy. Quote http://blackcanyonleather.net/

Ian, Thanks for the kind words, I've only been doing leather about 4 years or so.... this job with the bike shop has imposed a lot of forced practice. Its been good for me. David Theobald Quote
hidepounder Posted April 10, 2009 Report Posted April 10, 2009 Another great seat David! I like the color on this one, too. I've always liked the braid you use on the outside edge...what is that called and are there any publications which show how to do it? Great job as always! Bob Quote
