here you go. see what you think. Steve

When I began building saddles,Trees cost 17.50,Skirting cost for a saddle was less than 60.00,Total materials about 90.00.Then put labor ontop and we got 250 for a plain,300 for a basket stamp, and 350 for a carved saddle.Gas was .19 a gal.and agood wage was 2.75 a hr. Now we get a lot more for our product.I think we have become less independet.We see every one build wades,so we build wades.I like work that shows differing points of view. Right now I have 23 saddles ordered.!9 are 3bs, 3 are swell fork saddles,and 1 wade. We went from gullet measurement to degrees.A article in the Western Horseman ( 1960?) stated that when you saddle you should have 2 fingers between the weathers and your gullet.After you rode all day you would have 1.Recent article in the same mag.said you should have 1 when saddlling.I have my own thougts on the matter.Want to know what you think.

Pull the fork cover and put the rawhide back on as it was new.I would use better rawhide than the factory did.It should last a long time.

First you need to extend the turn back of the fender at lest 15 " Go ahead and cut your leathers at 68'
