Details

These are a few overall and detail shots of work I’ve sent out the last couple weeks. The scroll seat is for a bike Trevelen is working on. The flower, skull, and name are some detail shots for the set that I posted about below. The Whiskey Bent seat is for a local customer here in Elsinore. He brought me the Gaither artwork for the cowboy and I just added in the lettering and put it to leather. I’ve been a big fan of his artwork for years and it worked out crossing over to leather pretty well. It’s been a fun few weeks as far as the work I’ve been getting to do. Keep them coming!!

Another order heading out the door

Just completed this matching seat, p- pad, wallet and tool bag for Adam. Everything is hand tooled, sewn and laced. The number of hours in this product was overwhelming but the outcome is awesome.

Helped Alex last weekend ,putting  his Triumph back together. During the process, my big clumsy hands dropped a screw on the newly painted headlight that Renalto just completed. He had to take it back and redo it. Sorry buddy!

Thanks for the invite

Spent some time splitting lanes last night with Craze and Mike. We headed over at the Hurley Skate night to join up with the Stopnik family . It was really stoked to see Big Scott throwing some Eternal Combustion some love

It was cool to run into so many people that I knew and to watch these guys do their thing. Oh to be young again.

Big thanks to Mike for saving my glasses from the freeway, I owe you big time.

Hot Dog killed it

While I was at the Beatnik Blowout, I had the honor to get Hot Dog to pin my one off helmet from the Biltwell crew. It came out bitchin! .

I had him throw the ODB in there as well. To most people ODB stands for the notorious rapper “Ol Dirty Bastard”, for some reason I have been given the title by my friends. They tell me it means OH, DB, sure hope they aren’t messing with me.

Stopped by March Air Force Base

After we got back to California on Sunday, we headed over to Courtney's for  a minute. On the way there, we pulled off the highway to see some of the planes taking part in the free Air Fest at the March Air Force base. Have to make sure we go to this next year.
