Some Sheridan work

[nharms]

I know this post is from several weeks ago, but I had to say that I really enjoy this piece. Great Work!

Hilly,

I'd love to do a Sheridan seat, but flowers on a seat just isn't something you can sell to a biker. So if I did one, it would end up being a shop sample (aka a seat that a customer never paid for).....I already have one of those.

But I love your Sheridan work...you're doing a great job on it.

Hey Dave!

Who says you have to do flowers on the seat? I'd do something like finger carving around the sides (gusset?). Just some scrolls to add some texture, and maybe a bit of lacing. But I would do a nice Sheridan carve on the saddle bags and windshield bag. I'd only oil and antique them for a totally different biker saddlebag look. How often have you ever seen bag colors in other than black or maybe with a small dash of color? Seems every biker wants his or her bike to look different from all the rest. I bet if you used my ideas and made a complete set, you'd sell them. Heck, if I still had my bike, I'd buy them!

You do some really awesome work. I can't hold a candle to the stuff you do.

And thank you for the compliment.
