Has anyone ever attempted to produce a German M25 saddle? If so, how difficult do you feel it would be for a first timer. I have one which I love the feel of and its field utility but its tree is incorrect for my new horses build and I have started to feel guilty about the use of an antique of this nature. I have fair to good leather, wood and metal working skills with access to a harnes machine and hand tools. I am not sure what the tree is made of (some European wood) and the greatest hurdle seems to be the manufacture of the metal. Any help and opinions appreciated.
