Lots of Banging
01 Friday Jun 2012
Here are a few things that I’ve finished up over the past couple weeks. Keep them coming. I truly love making them.
This monster was for Dave Cook at Sledgehammer Bobbers.
Bag with turned aluminum end caps.
All my bags no matter what size are leather lined. Not bare like typical bags. These are built to last and look good.
These are a couple tank mounts a customer asked me if I could cover.
A seat for a customer in Canada. He is having a CFL built by AKI at Hog Killers. I’m looking forward to seeing the end result. Aki always turns out first class work!
The bottom of the same seat. The bottom is as important as the top. It’s the details that count.

I recently covered a seat and set of grips for the guys at FBS. Robert said he would send some pictures when it was complete but I never expected pictures this nice! Make sure and check out their products. They make some REALLY nice stuff for the shop. I’ve been using their sprayers and tapes and they are better than anything I’ve used before.
Recently Shipped

This seat and grips was for an FBS show bike that will be displayed at SEMA. I’m looking forward to going up this year and meeting the guys from FBS. They make great products and were great to work with.
Here are a few wallets that have been shipped recently. The interior shot is just to show a sample of my wallet interiors. I hand make each one. A wallet interior that actually has some function over the typically seen simple interiors in most hand made wallets. They are all #1 grade leather with USA made solid brass zippers. The inside of all pockets excluding the card slots are lined with pig skin suede.
Attention to detail in the smallest pieces. This small belt loop for a wallet chain is also lined with calfskin using all solid brass hardware. The belt is lined on the back with calfskin and all edges are hand finished after being sewn.

Lisa has started a new facebook page for DB Custom Leather. If I have done some work for you in the past, it would be cool if you could share some photos. We will be downloading more photos and videos over the weekend.
We appreciate every order that has come through the shop!
