MADMAX22 Posted January 11, 2009 Report Posted January 11, 2009 Yeah nice touch on the letters/numbers. Good looking seat so far. Quote
Members Sasquatch Posted January 11, 2009 Members Report Posted January 11, 2009 Nice seat man, almost looks like an inlay. Quote www.makoaleather.com
Members TroyS Posted January 12, 2009 Author Members Report Posted January 12, 2009 Thanks guys! Yeah, I was trying to capture that 1969 "Old Skool" look. The antiquing actually turned out better than I had planned. I planned on antiquing the whole seat, then reapplying black dye over everything except the lettering. Then I took the pictures to send my customer and the picture really brings out that REAL OLD look! My customer emailed me back saying "That's it! That's the colors!!"....., so I started braiding... I'll have this one done this week but I have 3 other jobs on my bench that need some attention too ... more as it develops... Quote Troy
