Alan Bell Report post Posted February 15, 2011 Here are some pics of a saddle I made for myself, I'll try and get some close ups later but wanted to post it here. It is on a Nikkel tree, Hermann Oak leather fully tooled, 22" tapaderos, latigo wrapped 3X4 horn, 4" cantle, crossover rope strap, wrapped and set stirrups. Any comments, critiques etc. welcome and appreciated! Vaya con Dios, Alan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aggiebraider Report post Posted February 16, 2011 Awesome job on the saddle and nice to see you posting some work again. You actually came up in a couple different conversations at the braiding workshop this weekend in San Diego lol. Hope everything is well up north, CW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alan Bell Report post Posted February 16, 2011 Thanks everyone! The saddle rides nice! Really comfortable seat if I do say so myself! Denise it is the tree made for me that came with Chris's tree ( moved my files and can't locate number) I'll be calling later today to order some trees! How long is the wait up to now?

Rod and Denise Nikkel Report post Posted February 16, 2011 Alan, wait time isn't too long at the moment. A couple months, maybe 2 1/2. Thanks for the orders. Rod likes the saddle he made for himself too. (Not as pretty as yours, but pretty good for a first saddle.) Fits him perfectly! Nothing like being able to feel how it will feel for the final rider to get it right! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
