morb

that's awesome. thanks

That's pretty cool. I've been thinking about doing that style with coyote

that's gonna look so cool when its done, cant wait to see it finished

i never really knew much about breast collars now that i have one i really don't know that much lol thanks for the info, i really appreciate it

my breast collar has the ring in center, i'm not sure what kind of collar it is i copied my friends here is a pic of it http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=54753&hl=morb#entry350882 when i attach it to the rigging d's it comes around in front of her shoulders and when i attach it to the swells it seems too high and the ring sits higher than the center of her chest. i don't know if any of this makes sense i'll take some pics of it on her

thanks for all the help. i'm going to give it a go this weekend, i have 2 saddles so i might even try both methods.

that looks pretty neat Bruce I like that too. That is what I love about this site, you get to learn from professionals. You said you make slots in the tree instead of holes, how do you go about making the slots? Do you make a line of holes then chisel them out? Thanks

i downloaded inkscape last night, haven't really had a chance to play with it yet. can you add leaves and stumps and so on to lay out in a pattern? would it be possible to see some pics of the layouts you made, just so i can get an idea of what can be done with the program

thank you, that helps a lot. it looks good and looks sturdy. i was thinking of using those d's with the metal tab but yours look better.

thanks. i think i'm following you, i'm going to try it out this weekend. if you have a pic that would be great but i'm sure i understand what your saying. how long do you make the chape?

just wondering what's the best way to add d rings to a saddle? I have tried to attach my breast collar to the rigging d's but it seems too low and when I attach it to the swells it seems too high. Do you just attach them under the concho? thanks not sure what happened but I post this question 3 times, how can I delete the other 2?

I read that someone tried that and it turned black like vinagaroon.

Karina Here's a link to the breast collar I made for my horse. The pic doesn't show the color that well but you'll get the idea. I like the color on your piece, it turned out nice. Be sure to oil it once it's dry, it will make it a little darker as well. http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=54753&hl=

I haven't had a chance to try it yet, hopefully this weekend.

Thank you
