Beautiful work.  One problem though. It's too pretty to sit on. :)

That's a beautiful chair seat. Did you break it in for her? ;-)

You really have gone to a great deal of work, for your wife. I bet she was surprised and pleased.

Happy wife, happy life. 

You know, that other chair needs your initial now... Have fun. Hahaha

Edit: you added another pic, so you already reseated them both... Good stuff.

Have a seat, make yourself comfortable.

I am always impressed with great tooling. They look exceptional.

I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with.

Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day.

From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.

It maybe just me but white thread distracts from beautiful tooling.

Being married wouldn't have been so bad if I'd been married to a guy like you!  Hope she knows how lucky she is.  If she doesn't like them, they have the initial for my first name on them:-)  Super job!

I generally like high contrast stitching, but you are right, this does draw the eye away from the tooling.   But, it is really good stitching, and makes a nice frame for the tooling, so that helps.  A beige thread to match the leather color might have been better in this regard.  Perhaps with time the white will be less vibrant.  I still really like the entire package tho.

I’m not a leatherwork expert but I know a little about detailed art, those seats qualify as amazing on both fronts, whilst I don’t know you ! I see some perfectionism there! It’s just got that ‘WOW’ factor, well done! I would love to produce work like that, O am sure your wife is very happy!
