Excellently done. I was going to rewrap mine as the leather was getting tacky but after hitting it with a cleaner and conditioner I realized it was nicotine bleeding through as the p/o was a smoker. Cleaned it well 2 or 3 times and that went away. I guess the heat started to cause it to leach through after 10 years... you have more guts than I because I wouldn't do it.

looks pretty decent, wouldnt have the patience or attention span.
Maybe you just found yourself a side gig.

Beautiful stitch job

Sorry it's been a while since I logged in but here is the site where I found the new skin. You should expect to spend time stretching the leather to fit. Have fun.
