'Pryally' aka Mark in Manchester sent me this brown B17N. First time time I've chopped a pristine new saddle. It was slightly tougher than one that's been ridden, but has come out well. Cheers Mark.

Aaron from Brixton (aka Stevo_com ) gave me B17 on Monday night, I chopped and stamped his name on it on Tuesday night, he should have it back on Wednesday night ... not bad!
Enjoy, Aaron.



Here's James' aka GrowUp's nice split leather affair has come back to me, now looking a bit smoother after playing some polo with it, for some letters to be added. Cheers James.

BigTed's (aka Ed, of Herefordshire) B17N. Chopped, tied, nise trim, 'ED' letters, all after blocking it out. It was quite seriously sagged, but some careful reshaping has done wonders and it looks like the original shape again. Hope it rides nicely.

Here's Dante's lovely old B17. Chopped and tied, chamfered edge and debossed name across the top.

Debossed lettering

Here's a sample of debossed lettering on an unchopped B17 of mine. I fear the pictures don't do it justice - it looks great and feels fine to ride.
