Contributing Member rdb Posted April 29, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted April 29, 2008 Nice!!! I like the stitched edge with it, instead of a braid. Makes it look real sharp.... Quote
Ambassador Beaverslayer Posted April 29, 2008 Ambassador Report Posted April 29, 2008 Great looking seat Roger, the letters and numbers really stand out the way you've double beveled them. What color? Ken Quote
Roger Posted April 29, 2008 Author Report Posted April 29, 2008 (edited) thanks for all the comments!! i like to stitch one now and then. most times the customer wants some sort of lace but, i have learned to enjoy saddle stitching now and then! i have a couple lined tool bags to do so, i'll be doing a bit more stitiching LOL! tim ken... it's saying just the way it is and let the sun tan it up Edited April 29, 2008 by beezachoppa Quote

Members CitizenKate Posted April 30, 2008 Members Report Posted April 30, 2008 Beautiful, Beez! That gave me the idea ... I wonder what a bike seat that was made like a horse saddle would look/work like? Kate Quote
Roger Posted April 30, 2008 Author Report Posted April 30, 2008 Beautiful, Beez! That gave me the idea ... I wonder what a bike seat that was made like a horse saddle would look/work like?Kate thanks kate! it's been done. i did bags on this one and he took an old saddle apart for the seat. one of these days he wants me to redo it.

Members CitizenKate Posted April 30, 2008 Members Report Posted April 30, 2008 That is so cool! Really gives some substance to the idea of an "iron horse". Thanks for sharing your inspiration. Kate Quote
TomSwede Posted April 30, 2008 Report Posted April 30, 2008 Sweet stuff Beeze! On occasion I do like to look at a stitched seat, seems like you're just as good with the 'ol awl n' needle as the lacing. This seat really rocks with that beautiful floral and those poppin letters! Tom Quote

Dave Theobald LOL! i posted it kinda late. the horse does send out one notice. i had gotten mine and forgot about it. don't it figure this was the issue that mine stoped coming. i ended up ordering it as a back order but, you can usually fine it locally in walmart ect...

David Posted April 30, 2008 Report Posted April 30, 2008 It reminds me a lot of the one you did for your BSA chopper.... It's super Dave Quote

Froghunter Posted April 30, 2008 Report Posted April 30, 2008 VERY NICE WORK BEEZ!!!!!!! Yup, I think I might be using the wrong end of my tools or sumtin'! Quote
outcast Posted May 1, 2008 Report Posted May 1, 2008 Very nice Roger! I love the stitching, and floral carving both. Quote
Roger Posted May 2, 2008 Author Report Posted May 2, 2008 Beez- any chance of seein' the bottom?sorry... this one has already been packed and shipped. it's just leather flat across. this pan is 10 guage steel so there is no need for additional bracing. just leather straight across.i'll have to see if i have a bottom shot of anotherVery nice Roger! I love the stitching, and floral carving both. thanks steve!!i do enjoy coming up with some floral now and then. it is where i started when i was a kid. reminds me of the days learning with my dad. stitching is a challenge since i don't do much of it but i do enjoy it Quote
