Good job Julia. You'll be riding that with pride. Since I'm still learning I have no advice to give but I do have a question.
I prefer a slick seat. Most if not all of the women that I trail ride with say that they have to have a padded seat. Since you made this for yourself did that ever come into your mind to pad the seat? If not, why not?
The next saddle I make will be for my wife so I'm doing all the research I can up front. I have to make her happy!
Any other women saddle makers reading this I also welcome your knowledge and opinion.
Thanks,
Art
