Ciao James Thanks James...No I do not use vinegaroon or similar things ( I have never seen that thing!) ...here we use alcohol based dye, made in Italy, obviously (Nero d'Inferno is the name of the product) About the how to do that work with wet-leather....it depends from many factors ...one of them is our leather tanning, other is the position of design....and - not the last reason- the way to use the hands molding the leather around the foam....look more on FACEBOOK : Sergio Falco) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OdinUK Report post Posted January 2, 2012 Very nice work! Did you dye the leather after wet forming and stitching? Also when wet forming, did you only wet the sides of the seat leather, or did you wet all of it? Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D3badger Report post Posted January 16, 2012 That is an awesome job! Might look for something similar for my Heritage Springer. Looking for a skull pattern for an iPod case. Did you draw that one up yourself or find it somewhere? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
