2hole Posted October 14, 2011 Report Posted October 14, 2011 Another awesome seat there Dave. I hope one day to come even remotely close to the talent you have in your leather work. Everything i've seen from you is always three steps above perfect. Keep up the great work. Have a great day and God bless Quote

That is the way I feel when I see Bob Parks work. He is Hidepounder here on LW.net Dave Theobald Quote
David Posted October 15, 2011 Author Report Posted October 15, 2011 Here is the next steps. Lacing done and some black areas added. The black areas have a Neat-Lac coating to try to hold the black on the leather. The lettering and cigar smoke have Super Shene to try to keep them lighter than the surrounding leather when the seat is dyed and antiqued. Now I will wait for the P-Pad to come back from Roger and then dye and antique them at the same time. Dave Theobald Quote
Members Rhide Posted October 15, 2011 Members Report Posted October 15, 2011 Beautiful work. What's the final color scheme? It looks so good like it is, if it was mine, I'd be real tempted to keep it as natural as I could. Quote
MADMAX22 Posted October 15, 2011 Report Posted October 15, 2011 Looking great Dave, always really like that applique lacing. The design came out really clean. Should look killer once its all done (heck it looks killer now). Quote
