Toilet seats with hand-carved leather lids

Etsy user WINDY54M sells toilet seats decorated with hand-carved leather. From his listing:

This is real vegetable tanned leather.I carved it in my shop at my workbench.Once carved it is then dyed/stained then a top finish is applied to seal it. Then I use adhesive to attach it the Oak toilet seat.Then I use real HEMP rope to decrotate the edge.

Monogrammed hemp toilet paper would be nice with this. Also, a bit of adhesive for the holder

I've always said that when I go, I want to go in style! ;)

Does he really have to decrotate the edge with HEMP rope?

In related news, Saatchi Galleries has decried as false rumors that Damien Hirst's upcoming October exhibition will include a 700-meter high replica of a hand-carved, hemp-brocaded toilet seat.

I want a toilet seat with build in LEDs on the underside of the seat, that are powered by the act of lifting/lowering the seat, so that I can see if im hitting bullseye in the dark without flipping the lights on. The erratic spray of a man who just spent 3 hours sleeping on his stomach, thus temporarily kinking up the plumbing, appears to defy physics - I've peed at angles approaching 90 degrees - and so could do for some basic illumination.

Til then I'm stuck pissing into the shower, or subjecting my pupils to undue photon shock.

That hemp rope's not too functional on a surface that will need to be periodically cleaned.

Great. Now we need to kill animals to take a shit? Carving wood isn't good enough for luxury excretion?

Wow, hideous.

That annoying LaBeouf actor kid apparently does this as a hobby of sorts.

For reals.

I think it is a real nice seat.Then again since
I created it , I may be alittle biased.As for the
question did hemp really needed to be used.Yes it
was requested by the customer.
