David Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 (edited) This beast was made to resemble the old fashioned "pogo" seats from the 40's. The shape is close but could use some refinement. This seat seemed like it took forever to complete. I don't want to even mention how long it took to do the basketweave braid around the edge. More pics later.... I wanted to try out my new camera. Johanna, does it look familiar? Dave Theobald Edited January 4, 2009 by David Quote

TomSwede Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 Way to go David! Love the two tone applique (as you prolly would have guessed) and the fingercarving is just AWSOME!!! Love those birdies!!!! Off course the whole seat rocks with it's delicious carving but hey, you're David and your seats are allways nice;-) Consistent as allways. I still haven't figured out the difference between a seat and a saddle;-) Tom Quote Confucius - Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without. --------------------------------------------- www.1eye1.se blogg.1eye1.se

David Posted January 4, 2009 Author Report Posted January 4, 2009 I still have to add a finish to the seat. I'm thinking of going real simple on this one.... Just a coat of Lexol and then some Sheriday antiquing paste. Any suggestions? Dave Quote
AndyL1 Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 That's way cool! I love the birds on the bottom. They remind me of a bad-ass hot rod pinstriping style. Quote Blackthorn Leather on Etsy • Blackthorn Leather on Facebook
