David Posted February 1, 2010 Author Report Posted February 1, 2010 The seat is now assembled. The dye comes next, when I can accomplish it without frost bite. Dave Quote
Members scottishshoemaker Posted February 1, 2010 Members Report Posted February 1, 2010 Looking good David. Are you going to dye as picture or? Quote You Want It, I'll Make It!
David Posted February 1, 2010 Author Report Posted February 1, 2010 Looking good David. Are you going to dye as picture or? The dye will be as dark as I can without being black Dave Quote
Ambassador leatheroo Posted February 1, 2010 Ambassador Report Posted February 1, 2010 David, i am interested that you construct before you dye...i have always dyed first then constructed....is there a reason, or just your preference? Quote "]http://leatheroo.blogspot

Hey Roo, I'm not sure why, but nearly all seat builders that I know build then dye. Probably has something to do with avoiding shrink from getting it wet with the dye. Dave Quote
