Pretty sick, bro....that is a awesome seat!!

Your braiding is so tight and even...looks like a machine done it!

on ur carving I noticed it is not as deep and three dimensional...

that works great with the floral scroll design, sort off Italien

looking,,,....love it....the colors as always...stunning.

Guess its time to step up front for u.....these seats are no hobby

Projects anymore....1450cc rock.....haha....but 276cc by all means too!!

Great work...keep it coming!!

That looks awesome! What tool did you use for that pattern around the edges and down the middle?

I think this one is still my favorite. I find the pattern, the floral, and the colors very aesthetically appealing.

I used to be an Eagle, a good ol' Eagle too...

Finally started on a few new seats.. I just ordered six seat pans and will make six different seats to show off at Oslo Motor Show in Octobre and Motorama Barcelona in November :-)

I do both.. it´s just a way I feel comfortable with as I have seen so many seats, with the motive a little "off" center, and for me it would ruin all the work.. so I prefer to start holding, so I can place the motive as accurate as possible, then start the tooling, and then mold the rest after..

I learned all this by my self, and I found a way that works for me.. It has defiantly crossed my mind that I can try other methods, but this works and the clients are happy with the result :-)

Also started another seat, with diamond stitching.. have a little sewing machine problem right now, but as soon as the timing is fixed, I´ll continue with this one..
