This is an exercise saddle that is used at the raacetracks for morning workouts..im using 8/9 veg tan...3/4 chap splits for seat and bottom...5/6 split for liner.. weight is 5 1/4 pounds like you see it in the pic
GREAT WORK !! i have alot of experiance in exercise saddles as i was a jockey for 29 yrs and breaking colts for the last 7. as you said failure of the tree sucks for sure. been there done that. im always looking for replacement trees. lets get together on them as i need a few now. again great work on the saddles keep it up.. blazenh
edges have been burnished. the cut away under the trigger guard is per customer request. finish is going to be a simple oil finish. i my self use olive oil as it does darken the leather some, an makes it "age" well
