Ian Report post Posted December 27, 2009 Hey, I've just started the second of six seats that I'll be doing for a friend. I just finished the tooling on the front of this one today. Dave Wow, breathtaking! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

David Report post Posted December 29, 2009 Thanks for taking a look guys....I've now started on the third seat. I'll post some finished pics. Troy, I received my first order from Y-Knot Lacing last week. The shipping was prompt and Barb Sorenson, the owner, is a very pleasant lady. I'm hoping she'll begin advertising here.

Crystal Report post Posted December 29, 2009 Beautiful, David! Are all 6 seats going to be different designs? If so, I'd be wanting 6 bikes just to have all in the series. Gorgeous work as always. Crystal Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crystal Hi Crystal, All six seats are going to be similar tattoo oriented art work. The third that I'm working on now has a dragon and a koi fish. It is very similar to the seat that I took to IFoLG this year.......except of course it has the signature on it. Thanks for the kind words, Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

awizardalso Report post Posted December 29, 2009 I promised Jeff 6 seats. Here are the first two. Greetings, Awesome seems to be an understatement. I haven't had a chance to go through many of the old posts, so please forgive me if it's been asked before. What do you do for weather-proofing? I just started getting back into working with leather after 20 years. I haven't made any bike seats (that I'll admit to) and it is something that fits in with my intents. I had been using Mop-n-Glo as a finish for what I did make, but nothing that would be exposed to the weather, like a bike seat. For that matter, I haven't made anything from tooling leather that could be exposed to the weather. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leather Balm with Atom Wax.........from Tandy Aussie Conditioner ........................from Tandy Thanks for taking a look. Dave Theobald Thanks. The closest Tandy's is 50 miles up the road in Cleveland. I'm having trouble finding an economical ride up there. The more I can save the more I'll get to spend when I get there. It's been quite awhile. We had a store here in Canton but they closed years ago, then the Akron store closed. Haven't looked very hard but there doesn't seem to be any leather suppliers around here even similar to Tandy's. You're welcome for me taking a look, but it should be me thanking you for the inspiration. Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
