More leather work 10/27 w/new pic!

Well you guys know that I've been working on making leather interior items. So yesterday I pulled the center armrest and did some work.

Here we go.






Gonna start on both door arm rest.


Also in the 2nd pic you can see the padding that I bought for my steering wheel.  It needs something.


This is with a test fit of the new cover.  Needs the padding.


I think they are looking good. What do you guys think? Once again I could do this for people but with the armrest you would have to send me the parts to cover.

IPSD great work. Not many people can do the kind of work you are doing now. Most upholstery work done now is done with pre made kits. I learned the old school way from my dad and truly admire your work.
