Moderator rdb Posted June 24, 2008 Moderator Report Posted June 24, 2008 The local bike (Lowmaster) shop guy makes Iron Horses. Thought I try and get some trade from his people, and made up this saddle for his Norton Lowrider. I sketched for a few days, and came up with the usual skulls, and such, gave that up, and just started tooling. This is how it ended up, some kind of cross between a saddle and a tribal /sherwood forest flame thing. It turned out alright I guess, he liked it. Hopefully some tens and twenties come my way in the near future. Probably two days work, drawing/figuring, stamping, and handstitching. He didn't want padding. 8oz.belt leather top, 3oz bottom, sunburst dye job with tan first, lt brown dry rubbed edge, antique over, snowpruf finish. Quote

Members shirleyz Posted June 24, 2008 Members Report Posted June 24, 2008 I like the basket weave. Nice job! ShirleyZ Quote
TomSwede Posted June 24, 2008 Report Posted June 24, 2008 Very cool seat and odd shape wich one can say about the bike too. Nice design and layout, the tribal flames seems suiting to this bike. Smooth basketstamping! Tom Quote
