Five Mile Creek Fanny In Progress

[David]

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.

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!

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

Hey Roo,

Thanks for checking it out. The bike is all black. So I'll recommend a black to tan to the customer

[David]

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.

I like it, too, David. Loved the story with this seat and I think you put everything together very nicely.

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?

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

[TroyS]

I REALLY like the looks of this seat Dave!

[dscott]

[David]

Thanks to everyone for taking a look at this seat, it was a bit out of the ordinary for me. I hope the customer likes the results, I will try to post a couple pics of the bike if and when I get them.

Best to all of you

Dave

[Leather Ink]

Fantastic! I want to do work that clean, everything looks so perfect. Can't wait to see more!

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

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.
