Photo Information for ver 4.0 swell cover.jpg


Recommended Comments

Interesting version of the San Carlos border on your saddle stand. I haven't seen that stamp before. Is it a special one, or a regular San Carlos that you went over the top of with a flower type stamp? Looks slick. I noticed you run your fork cover back almost to the cantle. Do you leave it like that or trim it? I haven't seen it done that way and wasn't sure if you use it as a riser before doing the ground seat, or just a matter of preference. Do you use an all leather ground seat, or metal strainer?....since I'm being nosey.

I think I got that stamp at a wickenburg show. It has been so long with me I can't remember where I got it. I left the swell/fork cover long and covered the bars with it because this is a reproduction of a half seat from the 1890 - 1910 period. I was going to do a leather seat but I may use the strainer for strength since it is a half seat.

I just recently finished a Santa Fe style half-seat and went the all leather route. Figured if it was good enough 100 years ago, it's good enough today. Thanks for the response!
