Pic request: Grey leather-wrapped binnacle

[Rich_NYS]

I'll need to see one in person, but I think they look really good. I like the DMCMW stitching....seems a little bit more "subdued."

Hopefully I'll get a good look at a few at DCS; I'll have a new fiberglass repro with me, and if I prefer the leather-wrapped, I'll be looking to sell/barter.

I wonder how much a local boat upholster would charge here in Freeport. Just to wrap (and sew) my bondoed , almost perfect, binnacle. I was going to plasti-coat it but a chip came off it and i figure it's worth a shot at least to go ask. Hell, I can't see it beeing anywhere near $200-300.

Depends on the cost of local labor. And I've seen a few pretty dismal attempts from people who were supposed to know what they were doing.

This is the kind we do. The DMC California ones are padded. Attachment 25594

That looks really nice. I like the grey stitching a lot. There was some talk in the other thread about why DMCCA did white stitching instead of grey, and the logic was that the center console has white-ish stitching, so it would match better. I can see their point, but in a photo by itself I like that grey stitching better. Would be interesting to compare in real life in a car.
