New Member, A Few "new School" Pieces

[LeeTy Leathers]

Hello, below find a few of the pieces I have been working on. I am new to the board and excited to pick up new tips. I really want to learn the Sheridan Style if anyone is particularly good with it. As an aside the notebook cover is carved on the new milled tooling leather.

Super. Do you do seat covers for bikes?

[LeeTy Leathers]

I have not as of yet, but aside from finish and using a less flexible piece of veg tan I can't really say it would be any difference. I have seen a few kits, I am always weary and really think things like seats work better when simply recovering a pan and pad made to fit a specific model. I assume you ride as well, are you looking for something specific?

Looks great, if you're interested in Sheridan, look up "Hidepounder" here in the member gallery and take a look at his gallery, follow his posts, he's as good as it gets, actually he's better than it gets.

Looks awesome.

Original design?

You say you did it on new milled tooling leather. What is that?

So milled tooling leather is veg tanned like traditional tooling leather but never ironed so it still has a grained surface. After it is completely tanned and dried, it is then "milled", this process leaves it extremely soft and pliant. It is a pain in the butt to tool but would make very nice softer products.
