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
Members alb Posted August 28, 2011 Members Report Posted August 28, 2011 Almost a shame that you're going to be sitting on that. Beautiful work. Ann Quote
Members Hell Bent 4 Leather Posted December 29, 2011 Members Report Posted December 29, 2011 I gotta give you props on that skull, bro! Did you do the texturing of the bones with a pear shader, or beveler? Great job! Quote
dirtclod Posted December 29, 2011 Report Posted December 29, 2011 Nice job !! Somebody is going to be happy with their new seat. Quote
Members Rhide Posted January 1, 2012 Members Report Posted January 1, 2012 Beautiful! The depth and coloring in your work amazes me. Quote
Members OdinUK Posted January 2, 2012 Members Report 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
Members D3badger Posted January 16, 2012 Members Report 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
Members chancey77 Posted February 16, 2012 Members Report Posted February 16, 2012 Mad Props! Awesome and at a loss for words! I like to meet and see people that make me sweat a bit...NICE EXECUTION!!!!!! I really like the blending of color choices in the Tans and browns! Very Very nice! Quote
