Rawhide Reinforced Leather Inskirt Rigging On A Crates Saddle

Recommended Posts

Customer wants rawhide replaced, can someone tell me if they ever done this, and if so, how much should I charge?, also should I treat the rawhide as regular leather and cut from the spine area or does it even matter with rawhide? This is a first for me! Thanks in advance for your input

Rawhide Reinforced Leather Inskirt Rigging On A Crates Saddle.

Rawhide replaced where? Horn cap, cantle binding, in the skirt or part of the rigging?

Is the rawhide a stiffener in the skirts?

Photos of what you want to do?

I can't tell you prices in Florida, but I could tell how much I would charge here in SO CAL.

But I am not sure what you are wanting to do.

No,,, rawhide isn't treated as leather usually. Rawhide = pretty hard unless pretty wet. Think dog chewy toy.

But like leather it will have stretchy areas and hard areas,similar to leather.

Thanks for the reply, I have replaced what I would call for the lack of better words, a rawhide inskirt style rigging, ( no metal) I have gone ahead and completed the job, I did treat my selection of placement on the hide as I would if it was skirt leather, ( along the spine) to play it safe, I have never done this particular repair before and this was the first place I looked for guidance , this site is my life line, I truly don't think there is a better source or a more generous group of people,sorry but I'm not sure how to post pictures on this site, but to clarify,this is a design that is similar to the late saddle maker dave jones from Monticello Florida mentioned in Al stohllmans saddle making book but without any metal reinforcement if I can figure out how to post some pictures I will, again thanks for the interest,I truly feel like this a long distance family, that I am totally consumed with
