troy Report post Posted February 14, 2014 see photo below, it is of a plan for a chopper seat with a high curved back. As can be seen, I plan to do a largish expanse of flat braiding where basically the seat won't be sat on, rather rested against. Evenso with this expance of braiding I forsee the braided rising off of the leather due to the curve. To remedy this I have decided to not braid the letters but rather braid around them using the seat leather as the letters, if you get my meaning thus pressing the braid against the leather. I would of rathered braidied the letters as normal but could'nt think of a way to ensure the braid stays against the leather - any body done something similar and got a better idea?

KnotHead Report post Posted February 15, 2014 Quill braiding(a lot like embroidery) is another option I would consider. Might take a bit longer to do that type of job. But it will garantee that the leather will sit down and behave itself like it should. Brian... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KnotHead Report post Posted February 16, 2014 Thanks. But we'll see if he likes the idea of that kind of work... It's pretty when done though. Never done any of that yet myself. Brian... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
troy Report post Posted February 17, 2014 cheers for the idea Brian, have looked into it a bit but I think I'll stick with the roo braiding as I know how to do that and this project is'nt really the sort to try out new things, but ye does look good...
