My 1St Go At Making A Seat

[benlilly1]

Did it eventually lighten up as time went on?

It's been 20 hrs did not lighten. Here pic shows quite a bit of contrast

but it does leave the leather soft and supple

I don;t have much experience tooling, my focus is on getting a good basic build down.

thank you, your encouragment and work has been motivating

I am new to leather work, and don't make seats, but your examples look wonderful to me!

Would you tell me which W&C you used. It looks so good that I'd guess their English Bridle.

Thanks for sharing your photos and comments.

Very nice, I like the color and lacing on this one. Good craftsmanship.

Thanks for the encouraging comments. the leather is good looking, its W&C's Tooling/Holster/Carving Natural Utility 7oz

its pricey 25.2 sq.ft shipped = $192.51 and they have raised their price sense then

I made a fiberglass mold of the steel seat pan I used on this seat, stuff is really strong

can be made as strong as needed with several layers, its light weight and can be shaped to fit any frame, kinda fun to work with
