I just want to understand what leathers work for what. I generally stay towards collars and horse tack for now
-
This does help. But I'm wondering, I've seen pig, lamb, snake, elk, horse, etc What for when?

Over Whelmed With Leather Type
stef73433 replied to stef73433's topic in Saddle and Tack Accessory Items
What thickness do you go with? Also, where have you found best place to order it from? -
Hoping someone can explain the different types and what to use when. I'm so confused!
-
I make collars, horse tack, etc. What is the best lining leather to use? There are so many leathers, I'm so lost which to use for what
-
I got the patterns from dusty Johnson. I traced on tag board and then I modified them how I wanted then. I also used measurements off my current saddle. I also used Stohlman books as a reference

I have not been posing in quite a while, but I finished or should say almost finished, my first saddle this spring. I see a million things I'm not happy with now, but live and learn. I made fenders too long, buckles ended up way high, under the jockey or near to it. I need to cut and add leather Rosettes yet, lace rear skirt asking spine area. I'm really not thrilled how big the skirts appear,I was hoping for smaller. Saddle is also heavier then I planned. I used 12 Oz leather I think it was, but I'd go thinner next saddle (barrel racing) Not crazy about rigging, would probably choose different on next one too.

Making First Headstall...what Order Do I Do What?

I'm not much help because I'm novice too, but you can sure email me to bounce around questions and ideas. I'm skiing the same type of items you are.

Edges Of Hair On Hide Sewn To Leather

Joe, normally I would use the sandwich technique, but I am making it to match a head stall the gal already has. -
Edges Of Hair On Hide Sewn To Leather
stef73433 replied to stef73433's topic in Saddle and Tack Accessory Items
I'm making a breast collar. Can you please explain the double loop stitch and how to do? Thanks! -
I'm working on a set now that is hair on hide, sewn to leather. That leaves an unsightly greyish blue edge from the hair hide. How can I finish edges to look neat?
