Hi Chris,

I think that we have not had leather carving shown on the forum yet. There must be some consideration made before carving, knowing the properties of the material to begin with. Thank you for sharing.

Well done, Chris. I don't see much in the way of leather carving other than the usual acorns and oak leaves on cowboy belts. This is a nice change. Will your tank panel be dyed or painted? Please post some pictures of it when it's mounted. Hey, I ride a Harley and like to see what others do with their bikes.

Very Nice Chris,
How does this attach to the tank? Would love to see a photo of the finished bike.

Cheers,
Magnus
