Nice and clean Roger. Don't see you do to many stitched seats.

The seat looks awesome. I read in a previous thread that you hand sew these. How do you do it? Do you sew the leather then stretch it around the seat or the reverse? Plus what thread do you use?

Thanks!

the top and bottom are glued to the pan/padding and each other then sewn.

i just use artificial sinew (waxed) that is recommended for hand stitching, two needles, diamond point awl ect.

the seat looks very clean and the stitch is awesome, I hope I can get that good someday.
