Thank u for replying, I did a halo around my lotus flower and couldn't do it ur way I had to improvise with color and pearl reducer. However, on my husband's skull eTablet case I only did the art piece lol working on it today hope it turns out half as good as urs :)
Just gorgeous ...did u apply super sheen only on the art piece...I know u said to apply 24hr in advance but didn't know if u applied to the whole seat or just the artwork?
yes i used supper sheen as a blocker on art only so when dyed the art piece stays lighter and the tooling grooves get darker to help it all stand out. its just a case of practise with different amounts of dye to achieve your goal thanks for watching. cheers john
Hi Eric i used 3-4 mm veg tan shoulder. You can buy a starter tool kit from tandy leather this includes a basic swivel knife and various tools. thanks for watching. cheers John.
I'm not sure if saddle wax is the same as Aussie saddle wax but the Aussie wax I use is a beeswax conditioning wax to stop it drying out and keeping it water repellent needs to be applied regularly to keep it in good condition
Hi nidia, I use a rotating wheel punch to punch holes they have the option of different size holes dependent of lace you will be using. thanks for watching, john

This is very instructional!!
What kind of cloth or paper were you using to apply the color and buff the leather?
Hi Nidia I use cotton fabric just old t-shirts and paper kitchen roll to apply and buff,

Amazing I am going to attempt my first seat for my bike! what leather do you use? and is there a tool kit you sell with swivel knife and bevels?

I can't get mine as shiny I know u have to buff hard. They say saddle wax dries out the leather, is that true?
