“Queen of Spades” Pinup Girl Bobber / Chopper Solo Seat

“Queen of Spades” Bobber Seat

Hey Guys,

Here's a new bobber seat that i made just for the hellavit. It's a new pinup design that I've worked out. I was planning on making one type of pinup seat for each suit of cards, this one is the Queen of Spades. Not sure if i'll do clubs or diamonds next.

This bobber / chopper seat has a hand tooled leather top, with filigree in the background. The filigree is actually dyed a dark gunmetal shade metallic color ( I still don't think anyone has figured out how to make a metallic dye but me ;) ). The edges are laced, and the edges have ostrich panels sewn in as well. Like all my seats it has memory foam padding, with my new and improved seatpans that also accept all the standard hardware (nose brackets and springs) that are on the market, making it much easier to install on your custom build. An upholstered seat bottom finish off the look for one sweet looking seat.

I love it. Pinup girls are definitely on my favorites list of things i enjoy making.

This seat is not a “one-off” and special order for a customer, it will be available for purchase in my online store - Online Store -->"Queen of Spades" B

And without further ado, i give you more pictures!

Custom Tooled Seat for A Marine and Friend.

This is a custom seat that i made a few years ago for a friend that is a long time friend.  Even though i made it a while back, it's still one of my favorites.

It for a 300 series tire rigid frame build with a HUGE drop seat. The seat was very large, and allowed me to really really work on the detail.

The top is all tooled leather, with black alligator tear-out overlays stitched in and black sides.

he's a big guy, and his drop seat kind of squished him a bit, so he wanted to be raised up a few inches to get out of the pocket a little.
So it's all foamed up with high density memory foam, and there's a layer of gel-impregnated foam on top for a little bit of initial 'squish' when you plop down.

Hope you enjoy the pics!
