Hey Roger, really great work as usual. Sorry to hear about the real world job keeping you from doing much leather work. A question, are you coming down to the SMOKE-OUT this year? Again great work and thanks for sharing the pics. with us. Billy P

yea... it has been hard to have so much stuff sitting. i really rely on the money my leatherwork brings in.

my wife also ended up in the hospital for 10 days and that really added to my stress level.

i won't make the smokeout again this year. no time or money and my chop has been in pieces for a year.

kills me because i made it 4 years in a row and now i'm going to miss it once again.

thanks for the compliments!

I don't know anything about bike seats, but I know nice leatherwork when I see it and that is some great work!!

that's the idea!!

i have not had much time to spend here lately but, always enjoy looking at what other people do and most everyone likes some feedback

looks great! i do wander with as shallow as the carving and tooling looks how does it hold up to having a big guy (im assuming with a name like big nasty bastard) sitting on it while sweeting and riding alot????

id be interested as i have been thinking of doing my next seat myself....

thanks from a newbie

I think it kicks butt! I like the black!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It may not "highlight" the tooling or show the brunishing from the tools the way tan does. The overall effect of the very crisp and clean tooling with black is really nice. If the design wasnt really good and your carving wasnt up to snuff it would look crappy no matter what color it was dyed.

Cool as, also left a tad speechless.

thanks again for all the compliments guys!

micah.

the tooling is deeper than you think. it's 6-7 oz leather. i use steep bevelers. also.. the beveling is inverted around the "wild boar choppers" lettering

i have seen a couple of my seats after a couple years of abuse and they still look good.

riding buffs it up real nice.

I love the mixture of backgrounding vs. just beveling in the skulls - adds a lot of interest. I'm in awe.
