sweet tater seat

[Guest]

Sometimes I hate allowing a customer to dictate the seat art.... But you just do the best you can with what the guy wants.

Here's a perfect example.

I don't care what you say. I love that color and the braiding, the tooling tight and clean. I could of carved a monkeys butt and it would of looked great with all that.

Nice job David !!!

[CitizenKate]

Looks good to me, man. I've had several customers take me down an artist path I did not want to follow, and ended up with something unexpectedly phenomenal.

SUPER nice, David!! I wish I had the patience to braid that way!

Sweet Taters? Aren't they like yams?

Regardless of your taste in vegetables, great seat! Like always.

you ain't gettin any where near my but with any tools

the more i keep looking at stuff posted here (especially the bike seats)...the more glad i am that you can't really reacreate those colors in a tattoo....that particular design would look great as ink as well as the seat...but it would look best with that particular finish...i think it adds to the design alot

Good looking stuff David I absolutely love the braiding. Those seat pans, where are you getting them?

Just...

The seat pans are no secret....They are commercially available from West Eagle....made in the Phillipines I believe. At least they come packed in the Manilla Times newspaper....lol (good clue eh?). They are about the heavest gauge steel of all the available pans....they are also the pans for which Fabricator Kevin makes those nifty billet brackets with bronze bushings. The pans retail for about $60 I think.

Yup,

Sweet Taters are indeed yams. I hope he's building this bike for his girlfriend....He would get some serious teasing for a seat like that around here..... :biggrin:

I know what you mean! Sometimes you just have to wonder where people's idea's come from.

hey dave seat came out great!!!nice work man....

Dave, I don't see what's so bad about the art? Very well executed at any rate. Outstanding work as usual.

I made a Guitar strap for a friend and he sent a drawing he wanted carved on it, a skull with a mohawk. Now, I'm not the best at drawing either, but this was awful. I asked if I could redraw it, you know so it would fit the strap better, but he said he wanted to use his drawing and to do the best I could with it. I kept putting off making the strap for weeks. My wife finally confronted me about it and said I was only putting it off cause I didnt't want people thinking that I had drawn the skull and that I should stop being a wuss and make the strap, so I did and it really came out great. The skull came out exactly as he had drawn it and he was very happy and my story has no point...sorry

John, I didn't mind the art....it was the Sweet Tater thing that I didn't care for....not exactly what I would call a biker sort of nickname. I didn't mind the star and horseshoe....It is tattoo flash and not too bad.... I was able to talk him out of twin six guns (with ornate engraving) pointing at the star....phew! That would have been way too much on a seat.

Still, not my favorite seat .... but I want to thank everyone for the nice words.
