I found this Simco saddle at the curb on a neighborhood cleanup day. I've cleaned it up some with saddle soap, and got the suede looking better. I can't read the number on it. It has a lot of tooling and a silver piece on top of the horn. The tree looks unbroken. to me it seems worth the trouble.

Stitching wise that is project #1 on the left and project #2 on the right. I like Velcro on the strap for ease of release. I learned some things right there.

My first leather cut I made from my paper pattern of this EG Hughes WWII battle knife was not properly done to reflect my right handedness. I shelved that, re-cut for a RH, and it became my second project ever. The first project was an axe head cover that is rivet heavy. My 3rd project was the LH sheath.

We cleaned out my Dad's garage workshop a few years after his passing and I found a burned up knife and axe heads to work on. I also found my grandfather's awl and leather punch. I did a fine job on the axes and knife and they needed leather protection.
