scottishshoemaker Report post Posted December 19, 2009 Very nice seat. Did you just swivel knife then background? There seems to be no bevler used. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leatheroo Report post Posted December 19, 2009 Very nice seat. Did you just swivel knife then background? There seems to be no bevler used. Correct, i was taught recently that there was no need to bevel if you are going to use a backgrounder...i must admit, i like the look and it does save alot of time...the backgrounder i used has a straight edge on one side..it seems to do the job. cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I first saw the Pebble tools in the Cox seat tutorial on Bikernet and have been wanting them ever since I saw them but my local suppliers didn't have them or anything like them. Picking up all three. Love the seat design too, gonna have to try non-beveling carving and see if I can screw that up like my beveled work.

chainftw Report post Posted June 4, 2010 That looks cool man. I almost did that design for a seat I just did but he wanted sheridan style instead . He might want it for a bros bike ,Think I got the pic out of a tattoo disk I got . Chain Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
