leatheroo Report post Posted November 29, 2010 I thought i would show my latest seat before i have to re-dye it. The fancy seat was the customers design that i tweaked a bit. I personally like the pale antique wash but he wants it a darker brown. cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cem Report post Posted November 30, 2010 That looks great Roo, I suppose you can take some comfort in at least he didn't want it black but I agree the pale antique looks really nice. Cheers, Clair Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Redd Report post Posted December 5, 2010 Very nice job,Looks fantastic,but I do agree with you on the first dye job. I think that showed the tooling a little better,But It's all about making the customer happy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David Report post Posted December 7, 2010 Very fine work Roo. I like both versions but I do prefer the lighter one. I've found that most bikers prefer their seats dark. I've only had one that took a totally no dye seat from me... just some neetsfoot oil. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bobby hdflame Report post Posted January 5, 2011 Like Dave, I like them both, but......I'm leaning a bit towards the darker one myself. But it turned out great either way, and I assume the one paying is probably more than satisfied! Great job! What was the final finish/protectant that you used?

leatheroo Report post Posted January 5, 2011 Bobby, after the dye, i use neatsfoot oil, then a waxy sealer i get here australia that is mostly beeswax. The final thing i have been using lately is a product called bepanthen,....it is a baby nappy rash product....it gives a waterproof finish but still lets the leather breath. Its my favorite new product. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
