  1. string stick for sale on ebay, made with same wood
  2. There is a used copy of stolmans on ebay check it out they are about 80 bucks each new, but you could probably get it cheaper from there.
  3. yes the trees are designed specifically for the use..the horns that you are talking about are on a wade tree (actually a western ranch type saddle..made for all around ranch work and it is not white tape...is leather...wade horns are usually wraped with "mule hide" or latigo...in the old days it actually was mule hide and they were grey..but today they are mostly white and are really a thicker garment type leather like you would use for making aprons and such. As far as roping saddles...it is really a loose tree classification in terms of the type of horn used which is stronger and high enough so a roper can dally the rope and typically a lot of ropers like more swell on the fork than say a trail rider might..so they can lean their thigh against it while roping. in case you are wondering swell is a term that we use..talking about how far the fork extends beyond the point where the fork is attached to the bars...wades and slick fork or A fork saddles have virtually very little swell..where as a ropers and barrel saddles can have a good bit...do a search of wade saddle and roper saddles and look at the forks on both types and you'll see what I am talking about Dave,

  11. Hey guys I'm selling my artisan 4000...paid $3600 for it new,it is few years old but only has about 20 hours of use..bought it for a second machine to have at home for my wife to use. but she doesn't use it. just taking up space. the price is $2500 obo. and comes with about $500 in attachments..presser feet etc. I'm located in georgia and if you have questions you can email me here or at (moderator eliminated email so you don't get inundated with junk mail, PM or email through leatherworker.net --Art)
  12. here's my 2 cents on braided welts, personally I like the overall look of the braided welt vs single or folded welt. but one thing to keep in mind that unless steps are taken to slow down wear, the lace can be torn to pieces in a relatively short time. I've heard or saddle makers putting a type of varnish on the lace so it doesn't wear as quick...but I think wears issues can also be slowed with HOW you position the welt..refer to Troy's pics..the riders thigh won't rub the welt when it is positoned like that. Dave
  13. Bill..you bring up some good points...I can't say about these HIGH END trees..like a said I've never used them...are they alot more expensive?...I personally like the line-x trees better...you build on them the same as a rawhide covered tree. nails..tacks and screws. they are A LOT lighter..and due to friction the nails,tacks screws are sealed when they go in...I HAVE tested this...done a few other tests myself...never tried the truck thing...lol..but really it comes down to preference...I just put out there to let ya'll know there are OTHER options...BUT let me make one thing clear I ONLY use the LINE-X covering...not any spray on bedliner..I've heard that they don't hold up as well...but I don't know for sure could just be rumor. That IS what this is about right...sharing info..learning...thats why I'm glad i joined this site...Is like one big collabroration between fellow leather crafters and saddle makers. ideas....ideas...ideas.. Dave
  14. Herb Bork will definately have what you are looking for they have EVERYTHING...personally I think the 3 way is big and bulky..and like mulefool said that he sets the center at 7/8 and no one ever changes it...ya'll all know that most horse folks stick with the same types of horses..and though that the horses back will change over time..its not always a rigging issue...rock and twist might come into play...what then?? see my point? Its been my experience that most people that I have seen that have saddles that don't fit because of a bar issue not rigging. Dave
  15. slick fork and an A fork are basicly the same thing...they are called that cause there is virtually no swell to the fork...and look like an A if you look at them from the rear.. it is a good choice for a first saddle because covering the fork is VERY easy. and forks that have a lot of swell are sometimes tough to cover without a welt and sometimes it can't be done without one. as far a sam stagg rigging.or a fork rigging or horn rigging..I don't know your skill at leather work but maybe a touch difficult for a beginner..but hey its all about learning right...most of my saddles either have inskirt rigging...dropped flat plate...or rigged with dees Dave
