not being a sci fi nerd ,I do not know,

But thanks for your comment on the work..

Looks good, and to me a through time kinda pic background and fits. uh just me, and I'm old

The braid is seriously 100++, I need to figure that out!

? any spec on the foam, if you recall appreciate it.

Very nice! I love the dying job. Being a bike seat, it needs to be fairly water proof. You say you finish it with a diluted then full mix resoline, can you tell me exactly what product you use? As my work requires weather proofing and I'm looking for the best options.

Cool.

Brmax,

Hi, thanks for your comments,Braiding comes good with practice my friend,each one I do gets better,

The memory foam I used is a 1 inch thick memory foam mattress cover that I bought and cut up as I needed.I cut and shape using an electric carving knife.

Hi, again thanks for your comments,

To finish the seat after colour I used an antiquing paste/polish,on with sponge and off with micro fibre cloth, I then applied 3 coats of Resoline diluted 50/50 allow to dry n buff,then 3 coats @ 70 /30 allow to dry n buff,and finished with 3 or 4 coats of neat resoline buffed up with microfibre cloth when dry.

Obviously leather is never 100% w/proof but this makes it water repellant for showers etc,

I advise clients to use a waterproofing balsam for general maintainance.

Thanks Toney..
