Members Spinner Posted December 3, 2012 Members Report Posted December 3, 2012 Here are a few of the latest pieces to roll off the workbench and onto client bikes. It's been awhile since I posted so I'll likely do this in a few replies.

Members David8386 Posted December 3, 2012 Members Report Posted December 3, 2012 Great work as always. Thanks for posting them. Really like the black swan tool bag and bib great job. Did you use dye or vinagroon on it? Just curious. David Quote

Members whiteeugene Posted December 3, 2012 Members Report Posted December 3, 2012 Great looking work I love the dragon your art ? Quote
Members Spinner Posted December 3, 2012 Author Members Report Posted December 3, 2012 (edited) Thanks everyone. David - I use a combination of Pro Oil dye and Black Water Stain on all my black work. 2 wet-on-wet coats of the dye then a good coat of neatsfoot oil and topped off with black water stain and resolene for the sealer. For the all black items, I finish with a coat of Pecards Black Weatherproof dressing. For items with some color (dye, lacing or paint) I use the natural dressing. Eugene - The dragon is the artwork from a tatoo the client has. I had to work off pics of his shoulder as he had misplaced the original drawings.

Members benlilly1 Posted December 3, 2012 Members Report Posted December 3, 2012 It all looks wonderful! I especially like the black with red thread. Quote
Members benlilly1 Posted December 3, 2012 Members Report Posted December 3, 2012 Wow Chris, the eagle/flag design is awesome work! You've been busy! Quote
Members Spinner Posted December 3, 2012 Author Members Report Posted December 3, 2012 A full set of leathers for a 2002 VTX1800C nicknamed "Evil Twin" tooled & spotted tank bib, rear fender bib, custom side covers and (not shown) backrest pad for when he switches to 2-up. I'll be doing a roll style bag and a speaker enclosure for the bag sometime in January as well. Wow Chris, the eagle/flag design is awesome work! You've been busy! Thanks benlilly! Scary part is, this is only about 25% of the work I have done since my last posting in August. Seems not everyone wants to take a minute and send me a pic of their new leathers...probably too busy out riding! I have more fun pics but I still need to reduce the file sizes so they are easier to load, so maybe another post tomorrow or Wednesday.
