David Report post Posted September 4, 2010 (edited) This is the seat that I am currently working on for Jeff Cochran. He may want to leave it natural; as you see it here. Trying to decide on the best lace color. Any suggestions? Should I do a row of decorative lace on the front too? What do you think?

dirtclod Report post Posted September 5, 2010 David you do some mighty fine work ! I think the lace color that you have on the seat next to your name would look real nice on a natural seat. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
outcast Report post Posted September 5, 2010 (edited) David, all your seat's are top of the line. All your lacing looks fantastic, however IMO I don't think any your work needs decorative lacing. Your tooling can stand alone, & I feel the decorative lacing at times may detract from some of the finest tooling in the MC seat industry. I mean this only as a compliment. I would love to see a seat or two done by you without the deco lacing. Edited September 5, 2010 by outcast Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crystal Report post Posted September 7, 2010 Gorgeous as usual, David. I've been thinking about your question. What about black lacing for the outside and either no deco lacing or deco lacing in natural for the inside? Crystal Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CitizenKate Report post Posted September 7, 2010 Beautiful work, as always, David. I think you can leave off the extra row of lacing for this one. I agree with those who feel the carving is sufficient in itself. As for the color of lace... any idea what the bike looks like? Kate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This leaves me a bit in the dark with regard to finishing the seat; doesn't it? Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hilly Report post Posted September 9, 2010 That's some really beautiful work! If the seat stays natural, I'd use lace the same color as the seat. That way it won't take the eye away from the tooling on the seat, but it will still look awesome. I'd leave the decorative lacing off this one, too. Just my $0.02.
