Here's Richard's B17N


I used two chain-links on this one as he's a pretty well-built feller. I got to try out my new embossing lettering on this, with his nickname (initials?) BRM. I'm very pleased with the results, although I made the mistake of using too-hot water to soak that area with and this has discoloured the leather a little. Lesson learned.

  1. hey, nice work, using chain links is genius. I've really been inspired to chop a Brooks. I dont wanna spend too much money on my first B17, just incase I f*ck it up, so I suppose it'll have to be an old, tattered one, do you have any advice on how to restore it, or what to look for to see if the saddle's pass restoration. Cheers. Tom
