And the last update on this seat for a couple of weeks before I add the last finish.. Waiting for some stuff I have ordered to complete it :-)
I have started to test some color techniques tho, for my next seat.. which hopefully will look really worn out, but still very shiny.. think this should work :-)

Another one just finished.. no design on this one, but fairly easy to remove the screws and add another leather piece.. so I can have different designs :-) one for show and one for daily use.. I designed the seat pan and brass frame.. everything hand made..

Drawing a scetch of the motive..
Transfering it to the leather..
Adding dye with a brush on the small parts...
Then adding the vintage finish/background color..
Stitching it all up, adding leather grease and then polish it.. :-) |

I like the brass around the outside. Are you gonna let it oxidize or is it clear coated? Would look cool either way.
