Leather Craft - La Linea

Well, some personal requests are a bit more weird than others.. :-) This seat will be all white with with a red line (La Linea figure) and attached to a pretty cool and  white Panhead bobber. Even the lacing on this will be white.. This will pretty much be a show seat as the white will eventually wear off if used as an ordinary seat. Back to lacing.. :-)

Leather Craft - La Pera

This is a modified La Pera leather seat without motive I did for a chopper two or three years ago.. the new owner wanted black on the sides so it didn´t look so "massive".. so I recolored it and everyone is happy :-) It used to be all brown.. I like the way it´s been worn over the last years..

Leather Craft - The "Q" leather seat..

Working on another La Pera seat for a custom chopper.. The motive is a family  shield from the 17th century for the Quinsgaard family. Here is the motive cut out with the swivel knife before the tooling starts...

Lacing together the La Pera seat..

The La Pera seat is being laced together and will be all finished in a few days..

Vinyl - Tuck & Roll


Did my very first attempt at "Tuck & Roll" type of thing.. this little "pillow" is pretty useless, but with a little training I will try to make these old skool bobber seats with flake vinyl too.. maybe :-) Just need another sewing machine for that kind of work.. the expenses never stop..

Leather Craft - Collar


I can´t make all these leather things without making something for my dog Zara too.. so I finally made her a one of a kind collar with vintage colored brass rivets. If interested I can make you one for about $100 plus shipping.

Leather Craft - Wallets/Credit Card Holders


Even more credit cards holders in progress.. Will be put up for sale when done.. stay tuned :-)

Leather Craft - Wallets/Credit card Holders



When making leather seats I get a lot of leftover leather pieces which I can make small one of a kind wallets or credit card holders with and if you want a special motive, name or design feel free to send me an email, and we can see what we come up with.. Interested in any of the ones abowe, send me an offer.. please note I´m in Norway so I have to add shipping to the price, but it shouldn´t be much I guess.. (oh, I forgot to write "Sucks" after Love..)

T-shirts... (these are not for sale)


Long before (at least 8 - 9 years ago) I started to work with pinstriping, leather craft, gold leaf and all this motorcycle stuff I actually made a T-Shirt with a 276 logo at an art school and I think I had a dream of building bikes.. 276 Custom Choppers. If any interest, I´m thinking of making some 276ccm T-shirts for sale.. not to earn anything, but to spread the word with a cool logo :-)

The logo was made out of a Honda CB 750, making it hard tail and added a Harley Rapido gas tank in Photoshop.. even then I wanted this Rapido gas tank badly, and only a month ago I actually got it to use for my own custom build.. TTT

This will not be the design if I make new T-shirts tho..

Pinstriping & Gold Leaf - Åsmunds chopper


Åsmunds chopper which I pinstriped and gold leafed is starting to look like a real HotRod bike.. Kristian Sabel at KS Lakk painted the bike and flaked the flames.
