Members Sawyer Posted March 30, 2008 Members Report Posted March 30, 2008 Had this artwork requested from SPS West. It was an interesting challenge. I've never done Victorian Scroll type work before and had never connected it with motorcycles.I tried the "fast" basketweave that ShirleyZ used on her USMC seat. It certainly is faster, I like it. Dave Theobald http://theobaldleather.com looks great David, I like the Victorian scoll look Quote
Members johnny7 Posted March 30, 2008 Members Report Posted March 30, 2008 Great looking seat David. Scroll is amazing. Hope you post all three of the seats when you get the other two completed and colored. Johnny Quote
David Posted March 30, 2008 Author Report Posted March 30, 2008 Tom Swede, That's a good tip....so if you're doing a frame mount instead of a springer seat, you can save a bit of time on the lacing. Good idea. Tom Sawyer, Thanks for taking a look-see. Glad you liked it. Johnny, I'll put them all up here for sure. Thanks for looking David Theobald http://theobaldleather.com Quote
Members zman7458 Posted March 30, 2008 Members Report Posted March 30, 2008 I really look forward to seeing your work posted. its always so clean and balanced. not to mention your meticulous lace work. a quickie question for ya, I can't quite make out how you tooled the scrollwork. it looks like you beveled just one side from the inside yes? Quote Its not the destination its the journey.
David Posted March 30, 2008 Author Report Posted March 30, 2008 Zman, You are correct the scroll work was beveled from the inside. David Theobald Quote
Froghunter Posted March 31, 2008 Report Posted March 31, 2008 David, Outstanding work...very clean! I like it! I think the inverted beveling adds a lot to this as well. I love seeing your seats, someday I'll be almost as good as some of you guys! Quote ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Pounding on dead animal flesh, who woulda Thunk it!
ETW Grumpy Posted March 31, 2008 Report Posted March 31, 2008 Love the scrollwork and the inverted bevelling. I bought the first lesson on Victorian carving from Painting Cow. Ready to try my hand at that. Very nice. Quote
David Posted March 31, 2008 Author Report Posted March 31, 2008 Thanks for the comments guys, The Victorian scroll was their idea not mine....I also have the lesson by Painting Cow...it is interesting. David Theobald http://theobaldleather.com Quote
David Posted April 7, 2008 Author Report Posted April 7, 2008 Here is the final version of this one....black to tan fade as requested. David Theobald http://theobaldleather.com Quote
