Hey David,

What do you use to finish the seat? Is it water resistant or do you advise keeping the seat covered in the rain?

[David]

I use Fiebings Leather Balm with Atom Wax or Aussie Leather Conditioner.

Hope this helps

Tandy sells this neat little booklet for about $5.. it is call How to Lace......no author.

It is well worth the money.

Thanks. I'll have a look for that Dave, and I appreciate it..

When I finally get to the leather part of my bike seat. my intention is to lace it, so it's gotta be neat as I can make it..

Small steps..lol

Still working on a metal base to cover my petrol tank, before I can get on with the seat base..those crafty designers at Suzuki have hidden it under me bum on that bike.!!

super nice seat, very good carving and detailed work as usuall....dont care for the second row of braiding, be a pain in the inner thights...especially on long trips with curves involved....these braids will rubb ya raw!\

Also love the star, looks cool!!

the inner row of lacing is very soft kangaroo, you can't even feel it. The calf skin lace, yeah, that will rub you raw.... but not this stuff.

Wow That is a good looking solo seat

the tooling is sharp and clean, very neatly done

I like how the piston and connecting rod in the hand looks like it is out in front of the background

most of the time it everything seems to blend in with the background but yours actually has the illusion of depth.

is that a mexican round braid? and what is that other lace called?

do you make your own set plates?

sorry for all the questions
