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.

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.

Umm..that is the "Alien"..from the movies of the same name(s) featuring Sigourney Weaver..

Predator is another character entirely..but who did feature in other movies , including a movie with the Alien..

I do hope your friend asked for "alien" and not "predator"..or they may be disappointed..

As mentioned earlier in the topic,Mike I was given the picture and copied it He called it Predator as that is the name of the Mcc He is a member of.
