olroper99 Report post Posted January 20, 2010 I'm sure there's some one on here from Alberta, Saskatchewan or Manitoba who could tell me where to buy the stuff I'll need in the future. I used to buy a lot of my leather from the Hutterites in Cardston but have heard that the enviro-nazis have shut ol' Sam down out there. Used to buy my hardware from an outfit in Manitoba but I can't remember their name. I'm also looking to buy a couple of saddle trees pretty quick too. I guess it would be nice to be able to get all this stuff from one place but I have no idea if there is such a thing up here anymore. Thanks!

Denise Report post Posted January 21, 2010 olroper, Caledon sales in Calgary is where most guys get their stuff. http://www.caledonleather.ca/ Ken is the guy to talk with and if he doesn't have it, he will know where to get it. They have been in business for a long time. Trees you generally have to order from whoever makes them - individual or company - but he often has a couple kicking around there too that someone is try to sell. The place in Winnipeg might have been Warkov-Saffeer? 1-800-665-8619 Don't know if they have a website. Hope this helps. Denise Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
olroper99 Report post Posted January 21, 2010 Thanks Denise! I did a Google search and did find Caledons webpage but had no idea who was the "go to" company. There where a few others I found as well but a question here can save a pile of legwork. I appreciate your time....thanks again! Russ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve mason Report post Posted January 21, 2010 Denise is correct, caledon will have everything you need to make a saddle except a tree, if you want a tree give denise a call, rod and her make one of the best trees out there. I would strongly reccomend buying a top quaility tree and waiting to get it whatever time it takes. If you buy one of the cheaper factory type trees it will not matter how good of a job you do building the saddle, it will still be and inferior product since the foundation is a inferior product.

Denise Report post Posted January 21, 2010 and waiting to get it whatever time it takes. Thanks for the plug, Steve. The standard advertising discount will be applied to your next tree. Actually, we are only about 3 months out right now on our orders so the wait isn't too bad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
