Looks great! That seat is very nicely done. How long did it take you?
I've been getting lessons from an old timer (40+ years experience with oneoff stuff) and have managed to get my welting under control now.
Instead of making welt and then sewing it to one side and then together, I've been doing it all in one shot. After going one pass getting it as tight as you can while sewing all the pieces together, you flip the whole workpiece over and sew it again to really tighten it up. Two passes and done; much quicker with the same nice tight cord.
Edit: is that leather suede on the wheel? Or manmade?
