Things To Do In The Snow

[PeterD]

Here is a picture of my bike (I know, But I didn't say it was a good picture.) During our big storm I redid the pillion backrest to match the driver backrest and finished off the project with a back quiver and bracer that match.

The quiver was pretty simple and needs little explanation.

The driver backrest has an archer on the front and a bow and quiver on the back. I did them in sillouette by first stamping the backetweave then carving into the basketweave and backgrounding it. That way I didn't have to do any sort of a border. It looks like I just cut them out of the leather.

The pillion backrest was a bear since I don't do much of that sort of work. I first made a pattern then carved, stained and assembled it. Lo and behold I couldn't get it on the padding. After soaking and working with it for close to an hour I not only got it on but it fit very well. Unfortunately I had completely ruined the stain and paint job. I had to redo it in place and wonder of wonders I got lucky and it actually looks fairly good.
