First time doing leather work

[Ryderb50]

Tried my hand at doing a little leather work the other day. I was tired of my old cracked up leather arm rest in my truck so I made this little cover. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out even though the dye didn't come out at even as I hoped but I guess it gave it a kinda distressed look, overall pretty happy considering it was my first time working with leather. Any pointers or advise for the next time is more than welcome!

Dang! Looks pretty slick! Great job

That's a good first attempt. On a piece that big you really need to use an airbrush to get even coverage. Pretty tough to achieve with the dobber.

I've had problems getting a consistent dye on anything other than black. That does look a lot like King Ranch leather, nice look to it.

Thanks guys. They inconsistency is actually growing on my now, just wasn't my entintion.
