Ambassador leatheroo Posted January 29, 2014 Ambassador Report Posted January 29, 2014 I decided that i don't want to make any more bike seats, so i thought i would post my last effort So glad to see this one gone. The tank strap, i think i did 3 times. Who tries to carve praying hands???? Why did i accept THAT order. Anyway, i think it turned out alright. He wanted the beads silver to match the bike. The camera's made it brighter than it really is. You can't tell by the photo, but the bend in the seat is nearly 45 degrees...makes for tricky photos. This was my last back order....yeah!!! No more bike seats.....now on to new things! cheers and thanks for looking caroline Quote
Members Halitech Posted January 29, 2014 Members Report Posted January 29, 2014 great work and I'm sure those that wanted bike seats from you will miss your work. Quote
Members OdinUK Posted January 29, 2014 Members Report Posted January 29, 2014 Fantastic work. It came out great. I have yet to make my first bike seat. Quote
Members oscar621 Posted January 30, 2014 Members Report Posted January 30, 2014 That's some incredible carving. I especially noticed the texture and detail in the bricks but really think the whole thing is very nice. Quote

Members tomt Posted February 8, 2014 Members Report Posted February 8, 2014 very nice your work looks amazing Quote
Members TonyR Posted February 9, 2014 Members Report Posted February 9, 2014 That is fantastic work. It is more artwork than just a seat. Quote
Members Eddie1968 Posted March 10, 2014 Members Report Posted March 10, 2014 hope that's more for show than go. awesome. Quote
Members Ed in Tx Posted March 11, 2014 Members Report Posted March 11, 2014 Awesome job. The brick work is incredible, the texture of the bricks themselves and the mortar lines look real. The praying hands are an artwork in themselves. The people that miss out on your work in the future will be sad. Quote
Members bwillielv Posted March 11, 2014 Members Report Posted March 11, 2014 That is incredible! Quote
Ambassador leatheroo Posted March 11, 2014 Author Ambassador Report Posted March 11, 2014 thanks everyone. I find the seats just to big and heavy to work with. I don't mind the carving, dyeing , but the construction, cutting etc just too hard on the hands. I need a offsider to do the heavy work.! So i will stick to smaller projects until i can get someone to help. cheers caroline Quote
