BubbaJon Report post Posted April 9, 2014 Recently finish a new seat for my bike. I'm pretty happy with it. Master of understatement! That is some dang nice work - especially the side lacing. What did you decide on for waterproofing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Horseshoe Report post Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) I used mink oil, and tan kote. I didn't mean to be understated I'm just FINALLY at a point with my leather working that I feel it is good enough to "show off."

Twisted 66 Report post Posted April 10, 2014 Very Nice! turned out great! love the eyelet look. dare I risk the chance of showing my "newbie" side and ask what kind of a stitch that is on the side..? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Horseshoe Report post Posted April 10, 2014 That is called a round braid or Mexican basket weave. It is my favorite lacing pattern but it takes forever. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paprhangr Report post Posted April 11, 2014 I machine sewed my last seat, man was it fast. BUT, the round braid makes a seat look soooooo GOOD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrampaJoel Report post Posted April 11, 2014 Very nice. The eyelets give it an non average look. But holy moly that's a lot of eyelets! Did you have any problem with the close approximation of the eyelets to each other? Joel Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Horseshoe Report post Posted April 11, 2014 Joel sometimes when I don't punch the holes just right they can get to close but it still works out just fine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
