Moderator Johanna Posted April 27, 2009 Moderator Report Posted April 27, 2009 David started doing leatherwork when he was making knives, and one day, a few years ago, he decided to make seats. A zillion seats later, he has developed his own carving style and specialty "old school" custom seats. He is very casual and nonchalant about his work, but it's really very good, and since he is not the type to brag on himself, I decided to do it for him. I was tickled to see David and ClayB's awards at the show, and here is a pic of David's seat, ribbons and plaque. (I am getting ready to put up show pics in a few minutes!) Way to go, David! Congratulations! ~J Quote You cannot depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus. - Mark Twain

Members Tina Posted April 27, 2009 Members Report Posted April 27, 2009 Awesome as usual, I love your seats:-) Quote "He who works with his hands is a laborer.

Moderator Johanna Posted April 27, 2009 Author Moderator Report Posted April 27, 2009 Everyone was whispering about the finger cut carving David did on the back of the seat, and some people were afraid to pick the seat up, but they really wanted to look. I said, it's okay, it's a bike seat! You can pick it up, you won't hurt it! They examined the braiding, and they loved the finger cuts. Here is a pic.

Bree Posted April 28, 2009 Report Posted April 28, 2009 The guy puts together one mean seat!! Glad Johanna showed the goodies underneath. I remember how he had similar cool stuff under his winning seat at IFOLG '08. Quote Ride Safe!
