Stunning leather bike saddle with hand-carved and painted pattern all over the body. Art done by Kara Ginther. Easily attached to your bike. Leather softens with age. *By Brooks and hand-carved by Kara Ginther Kara Ginther's studio is currently in the small town of Columbus, WI. She is best known for my hand-carved Brooks saddles. Each saddle is carved completely by hand using fine wood carving tools. She removes the thinnest surface layer to expose the contrasting color below. A carved saddle is still fully functional but the customer should be careful to avoid moisture.
