Second Signature Seat

[Ian]

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.

Wow, breathtaking!

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.

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.

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

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.

I use one of two different products but I don't use them at the same time.

Leather Balm with Atom Wax.........from Tandy

Aussie Conditioner ........................from Tandy

Thanks for taking a look.

Here is the bike and seat that I did on my last Step by Step.

Nice ride eh? I also called this signature seat 1.

I hope to have some better pics soon. These are just a few that I snapped in Jeff's new shop.
