    Hi GrampaJoel,

     

    You replied to my question here and I just wanted to let you know I've tried all your tips and they helped immensely! The main factor was bevelling the strands, they lay lovely and flat now. Being inexperienced I couldn't quite put words to what didn't look right in my braiding, but that was the missing piece to the puzzle. 

     

    I knocked up a very simple lace beveller myself (below) using instructions instructions I found on Shane Hutchinson's Youtube channel and it works a treat! 

     

    Heartfelt thanks,

    Kristy :)

      You are more than welcome.

      I'm glad I could be of assistance.

      If this frame would allow pictures I would post the saddle I have in the shop. I don't believe it was repaired prior to coming to me. The people that had it went right out and bought another one. But the price they paid for the new saddle was only around $500.00. Not anyway near the prices Bob Marshall is asking.

      The nails, and screws were nailed and screwed into the bottom of the fork, and cantle through the layer of leather and foam. Not a very clean nor pretty job of it either. The stirrup straps and cinch billets are sewn through the foam and the leather only. It's a wonder to me how it held up as long as they said it did without pulling apart.

      I have a treeless saddle in my shop right now. It looks very similar to the one on the web site you link to. It was left here when I refused to repair it. All it consist of is some foam, nails, a little leather, a wood cantle and fork, nailed and screwed to together. At least 6 nails were bent over and poking through the bottom of the foam. These were of course storing the horse. Not much more than a bareback pad with stirrups. I won't repair or recommend them. But to each their own.
