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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.

hidepounder Report post 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!
