TomSwede Report post Posted April 23, 2009 Hi and welcome Honda! I haven't made a seat..yet but I think you'll find that leather is a fun material to work but it can also be quite challenging. How is your finished seat going to look, are you gonna try with carving and tooling patterns to it. Classic solo seat or a 2 seater, softer chrome tanned leather or vegetable tanned leather, stitched or braided with lace?? There are some really nice experts on the seat field here so you should be able to get some help and guidance throughout your project. Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
