I'm at a loss for words. Ditto what everyone else said. One of the nicest seats I've ever seen. I wish I could have seen you color it.

Thanks for the all the kinds words. I am happy to report that the owner loved the seat. I was very nervous giving it to him, as what he asked for, was a sugar skull with roses and a few swirly things. I was on holidays at the time and it was the only thing i was working on, and i just kept on working on it. My big mistake was with the lacing. I wanted the lacing to show more so i made the top smaller than the bottom. Even though i had the top tied tightly to the bottom, when i started lacing, i found that the top was moving towards where i was lacing and would end up entirely off centre ...doh! So, i unlaced what i have already done and ended up having to lace in small sections opposite each other. So i would lace about 15cm then do the same on the opposite side. Thank goodness that worked, but i wasnt happy with the lacing, it turned out a bit loose.

Anyway, the owner was happy with the seat and was happy to pay the extra i charged him. He's a great customer, he never wants a quote..."charge me what its worth"...he tells me!

cheers
