David Report post Posted July 19, 2008 I had to try the bi color lacing....This seemed like the perfect seat because the design looked a bit like a poker chip or roulette wheel. Feel free to give opinions as always. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scary Leatherworks Report post Posted July 19, 2008 nice lettering and lacing. what is that lacing technique called? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David Report post Posted July 19, 2008 The two color lacing is just called double loop bi color. The lacing at the front of the seat is an applique lacing. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shirleyz Report post Posted July 19, 2008 Hi David, Nice job on lining up the lettering. I have a hard time with the stamps, always crooked. Yours looks great. Shirley Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David Report post Posted July 19, 2008 Shirley, You wound me to the core, dear, the lettering is cut by hand....I don't even own the stamps. LOL just teasing you girl. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SusanC Report post Posted July 19, 2008 Dave, As always I'm in awe of your work. I'm still in the fear stage on my seat, and since the tutorials are gone I have been bummed out. Your seat is outstanding as usual ! SusanC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David Report post Posted July 19, 2008 (edited) Here is the seat all tied down and read to start the final lacing. Dave Edited July 19, 2008 by David Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rdb Report post Posted July 19, 2008 I come from a seashore town in Ma., and I worked on the water many years, so of course, I always loved the Compass Rose. Nicely done. The two tone lace is always a show stopper. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roger Report post Posted July 20, 2008 david... i don't envy you in the least with that thing! too much lettering for me for sure. you have done a great job of keeping it consistant for sure. the two tone lace is a nice touch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David Report post Posted July 20, 2008 Thanks for the comments guys, Roger, there is a lot of time in the tooling of this one. I gotta try to convince these guys that there should be cool graphics on a seat not a ton of lettering. This one is a read-a-seat. I even eliminated some of the lettering..... under Sucker Punch Sallys, they wanted "oldschool choppers". Thankfully there was not enough room Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MADMAX22 Report post Posted July 20, 2008 So you do all that lettering by hand or should I say by not using a punch but free handing it. That is impressive and must take a long time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, Mad Max, the lettering is all cut and tooled freehand. This is a time comsuming seat for sure. Thanks for looking.... David Theobald Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
