My Latest Seat.

[David]

Just finished my first seat in a while. I wanted to try lacing with brass grommets in both sides. I also wanted to try heavier leather. This seat is all 11-12 oz. leather. I normally use 8-9 oz. leather

All in all, I think it turned out ok. I liked tooling the heavier leather of course. But lacing with grommets.....it may be quite a while before I do that again. The two color lacing was a lot of fun. I like the look of it, but it is time consuming.

Looks like you did a great job on that one. It is very nicely done.

That looks good. Personally, I like lacing better when someone ELSE does it but that DOES look good.

Damn that is some nice work!!!! Wow! Now I have something to aspire to.....a long time from now.

I guess I'm just a bit weird, I love to lace…..The bicolor stuff looks complicated but once you get started its not bad. Just takes time.

And it doesn't take a huge amount of time to pick up the basics, again its just time and repetition.

I was fortunate, I made my first seat and the right guy saw it……then I made about 300 seats for them in a 2-3 year span.

So, now doing a seat is like …. falling down… its easy to do….

Thanks for the nice comments.

I also like to lace and do all my holsters with lace, although that is about to change as I have purchased a sewing machine. I still plan to do a lot of lacing because everybody likes the looks of it.

OH, I see where my reply could be taken wrong.... David, when i said lacing done by somebody ELSE, I meant somebody NOT ME Yours looks great!

ETA: I do it, but I don't love it.
