David Posted June 13, 2010 Report Posted June 13, 2010 I've got a customer in Georgia who wanted a seat commorating his great grandmother Fanny Price. She founded his family in the Five Mile Creek area more than 200 years ago. Fanny was something of a local legend/character as she was rarely seen without her Colt Single Action Army revolver. That being said, my customer also told me that he loves a well tooled saddle. His seat choice was the large pogo style seat that I used on my Phoenix/Tiger seat last year. You can see it on my site under "in stock" Here is the seat in progress. Dave Quote

David Posted June 15, 2010 Author Report Posted June 15, 2010 Thanks Troy, It is coming along, slowly but it's getting there. Hope to do much work on it today. After I sign up for Medicare............. Dave Quote
David Posted June 21, 2010 Author Report Posted June 21, 2010 I made a bit more progress this week, Should spend the week assembling the final seat. Dave Quote

David Posted June 29, 2010 Author Report Posted June 29, 2010 Hey all, Another post in creating this monster. My hands feel like I'll never lace again. This seat is big awkward and heavy. But I'm coming down the home stretch and hope to finish it this week. Alex, I think I'd reconsider that sale you mentioned.... If you have any questions, just ask, it'll be much cheaper!

David Posted June 29, 2010 Author Report Posted June 29, 2010 Unbelievable! Incredible work Dave! You are my idol! Thanks for the nice words Troy, but, I've seen your work, you don't need idols in the leather working world. Keep up the great work Dave Quote
Ambassador leatheroo Posted June 29, 2010 Ambassador Report Posted June 29, 2010 So impressive...what color are you going to dye it?? or not?? Quote
David Posted June 30, 2010 Author Report Posted June 30, 2010 So impressive...what color are you going to dye it?? or not?? Hey Roo, Thanks for checking it out. The bike is all black. So I'll recommend a black to tan to the customer Dave Theobald Quote
David Posted July 2, 2010 Author Report Posted July 2, 2010 The customer wanted a dark to light tan fade. He stated he likes the look of a well tooled saddle. I'm hoping this works for him. I know I like it. Dave Quote
Contributing Member Crystal Posted July 2, 2010 Contributing Member Report Posted July 2, 2010 I like it, too, David. Loved the story with this seat and I think you put everything together very nicely. Crystal Quote
Members CitizenKate Posted July 2, 2010 Members Report Posted July 2, 2010 Wow... so, so nice, as always, but this one is special. Love the story behind it. Is there a chance you'll get to show a photo of the seat on the bike it's made for? Kate Quote

Is there a chance you'll get to show a photo of the seat on the bike it's made for? Kate The customer is a really nice guy. He's in law enforcement, so we hit it off really good, I'm hoping he'll send me some pictures when he finally has it on the bike. We'll see. Dave Quote

Members traveler11 Posted July 8, 2010 Members Report Posted July 8, 2010 nice work and if fanny were still with us I would like to be her buddy although I would try to get her to pack a .45 auto Quote
Members Stewart Posted July 8, 2010 Members Report Posted July 8, 2010 David The theme is good as it gets and the work-- it's like a tuned engine. The lettering--are they stamps or did you free hand them. Joe Quote
