Randy,
I have only been planning this saddle for over a year. My new strategy is to build a saddle, use it, then sell for used. I sold the saddle I was using over a year ago, and it's time for a new saddle. What style trees does Swanke make? A 9 month wait is about the speed I move. The primary styles that I have used are: Wades and SF Bowman. The primary purpose for the saddle would be mountain pleasure riding with the capablity to tow a pack horse or two if needed. I'll post a photo when completed.
Ron
