    everything possible, but mainly the brands, types, and history behind western saddles, bits, and tack.
  • How did you find leatherworker.net?
    Searching for information about one of my vintage saddles.
  1. Silly question, I'm sure, but I've got a really old Tex Tan saddle, and I'm trying to be really careful with it. I'm cleaning it and oiling it for the first time in a couple of years, and it's just drinking in the oil. Is it possible to oil the saddle too much and weaken the leather? Also, I like to use mink oil on my leather. It really seems to bring leather back to life. I've used it successfully on tack that people thought I would have to throw away. But I've also heard that using things like mink oil on tack is a bad idea because it causes the stitching etc to rot. Is this true? How do you feel about using mink oil?
