Hey I was interested to find out what you thought about the panhandle leather hermann oak side you said you were buying. I am about to purchase a side from them but wanted to get some input before I did
-
No. Ordering was no problem. What was their reason?

Maybe my deal was a one-off screw up? Ken Nelson on this forum recommended them, so I tried. The second side they sent was ok. If you buy from them, let me know your satisfaction. --John

The side they sent had a big stain in the butt section so I sent it back. They sent another that is just ok. Cost me $40 to return the hide (WA to OK), so their low price was not a good deal after all. Pissed me off they sent a defective side and I had the cost and time spent to return it. They were good to deal with, though. They asked what I was using it for, so I thought they would pick a decent side. Sent me the new side at the same time I returned the bad one. Shipping cost only $15 from OK. I'm going back to MT Leather for skirting sides, though. You can ask for #1 sides, closer to home for shipping, and not much more expensive. I've got good service from them in the past. I buy most other hides from Hide House - great service, price, and selection. I have not bought skirting from them because they don't sell HO 11/13 oz, but do sell 12/14 and thicker. If you buy from Panhandle then let me know if you are satisfied. --John

I have dis mantled my first saddle. it is a 1974 circle y roping saddle. is it necessary to re use the ring type nails or can i just use galvanised nails of the same length and size(on the rebuild) ? thanks so much

If you using real fleece be sure to get bark tanned fleece. Get a piece at least 10 sq ft large. I think Tandy has it on sale now. I get it from Weaver. Cut out w front of skirt at butt end of fleece and bottom of skirt along back of sheep not belly

A recent post suggested lathe nails I have used those too in place of ring or galv nails

Use the same holes that the nails were in. I'd put screws (1" drywall, or cabinet screws) in the front where the skirt meets the fork and behind fork via hand hole. Put a couple regular or galv nails in between. If skirt had nails in back into bottom of cattle then replace w galv nails. Spread the fleece w your fingers to keep it catching in screw when driving screws.

Ring nails have good holding power but are a pain to remove. Some people use screws instead, or in combination w galvanized nails. --John
