well the pressure washer is the the best thing but I have did and work ok just after you done washing it let it dry off then oil it good. I use a good oil and gave it 2 good coats out side on a hot day so it soaked in nice and that saddle is still good today and that was 15 years ago boy is was dirty.

Well that saddle shere looks like my old kids saddle that is from the Colorado saddle. nice little saddle like a 13 inch seat I bet and around here in SD in good shape and oiled would be no more them 450 for one. Just my thoughts.

splice it with masters glue and would be like splicing the lace on a billfold if you mike a nice long splice the braid will grip it and it will be good

well im not shere the ones your looking at are big enuf to sew as think of leather as you may want. I just bought a toro 3000 and will sew 3/4 thick and a dream to run. Even for a guy starting out. the other day Dad ripped a drap on our swather so we maked off 2 old ones and glueed and sewed it with the toro 3000 and it is working great. I hat to say some times better to just bite the bullet and get a new thing with a dealer that will stand behind it for you.

Well the biggest thing with selling old paint or buck is that with the horse market the way it is. cant Hardly give a horse a way 1 The next guy dont want to feed them eather but with gas prices you guy better just put up some hitching rails and get up early throw that saddle and ride and save gas. I do under stand most can not do this but when im working at the sale barn this summer im riding 6 miles each way. saves me gas works the horse and not pay for the 4 buck a gal gas

Here is a pic of a old swivel knife this one is steel and some are plastic. If you get one shap there vary nice for share corners and a neat little tools. One pic is the tool with the box and the paper that came with it . the other is some fresh cuts made with it. When you get is sharp if cuts vary nice and smoth. The one in the pic was sent to us from a vary nice guy by the name of clint from Iawa that we met in sheridan at the show.It was build by H&S Mfg. in Santa Monica CA.

Howdy the 8 to 9 oz is the think ness of the leather and if im thinking right it is about 1/4 inch. As for a good place to get the leather your local tandy or you can call Sheridan leather outfiters and thay can ship you what you might need. The thing about swap meets and yard sales you never know hold old the leather is and lot's of times the old leather is hard and tuff to work with.

ps mp me if you need a number for sheridan leather

ok from a guy that has used a cheat strap make it big enuf to hold your butt in the saddle if you need it to that is why you put it on. I use one on colts for about the first 30 rides then I take it off the colt should be handing good enuf by then. The breakaway ID is not bad untell it break when your trying to keep your rear in the seat. IF you use it like a barback riggen to hold your self in it works vary well. Better to hang on then get the colt thinking he can get you off. I do beleave that it not for every one and for shere not on the saddle all the time and is not a place to hang thing on the saddle.

well my self I would use leather new on it to deep condition it and Im shere that will stop a lot of the noise. I can tell you as old calf roper my saddle has seen more baby power the most babys bottoms and it is over 30 year old and still going good so. Other then the white power traces on the saddle it will be ok

wow Great work and thanks for shareing love the chinks
Russell

Frist off vary nice job and love the light color. Will help in the heat of the day. Thank you for shareing them.
To help you zman chinks are hooked around the waist and go down just past the knee to potecte the let when roping and give you a little better grip to the saddle if the horse bucks. the reason for over the knee is if it rains the water goes off the chink to the ground if shorter it goes in your boots. Thay are vary handy working cows the carrying sharp neidles and tuff to help save your leg from misshaps. All so helps save your leg when roping and pullling stuff with your horse.
Mine are dark brown but the next pair will be light tan. The dark is to hot in the summer time.

how about lacing it on with wet rawhide and let the rawhide pull it tight for you. on my last rope bag I used rawhide around rope to shrink tight for a handle.
