Looks like a nice, comfy seat. All leather groundseat?

YR,

Nice work. A couple questions though too. Whose trees are those and what is the coating? In the pics, it almost looks like there are seams in the covering, but then it is a smooth finish? Any special concerns with the finish peeling while you are working it or anything? Also on your seat on the finished saddle it almost looks like there is a separate piece used to finish in the cantle dish. Is it my eyes, or just the way the tooling makes it look? Welcome aboard, glad you found us.

YR,

I'm with Bruce on the cantlle/seat. I even pulled the pictures down and tried to zoom in. Still looked like it might be separate pieces but that could be the pictures. Welcome aboard!

Regards,

Ben

Yes, I prefer an all leather ground seat over the metel or fiberglass ground seats whether or not a padded seat is going in.

Wow I'm impressed...nice eyes Bruce...the trees are wood "tuff coated" trees. basicly means a wood tree sprayed with Line-x. I get them made from a tree maker here in Georgia. I know Bowden offers a "tuff coat" but I don't know if it is the same product. It won't peel, crack, or come off in any way. and the coat COMPLETELY seals the tree. A little prep work is required though, Sometime there are drips in the coat and those have to be sanded smooth. If you want MORE info on these trees. just ask.

As far as the cantle. again good eyes. The seat is actually a half seat. You don't really see them that way anymore ,sort of an OLD school look. thats what the customer wanted in this case. a blend of old and new.

Very nice indeed. I agree with everyone else I am in awe of the stuff saddlemakers can do.
