    I was getting ready to start my saddle restoration (replacing all the leather) when I had a thought.... So this might be a really stupid question and maybe it doesn't apply here but I don't want to mess up before I even get really started. When working with fabric, the patterns are suppose to...

    Hi all, I’ve got this awl (pun stubbornly intended). Picked up fairly cheap from something between a junk and antiques shop. I ground and polished the tarnish away on my sharpening stone if you’re wondering why it looks a bit strange. As you can see from the photos about 1/4 of the wood i...

    I found this at local goodwill for $8. Was sure I could restore the leather but after one treatment with leather restoration cream it doesn’t look much better. And it has wrinkles I’m not sure how to get out. Would appreciate your advise.

    I recovered this old saddle from my great-aunt's shed. She told me that her father (my great-grandfather) used to ride this saddle whenever he went out for a date! I figured it must have been very nice in its day, so I wanted to fix it (any tips on fixing bent/cracked leather, please share! I'm curr...

    Hi group. I have been playing with leather for many years now, off and on. I have a decent grasp of what I'm doing, within the perimeters that I'm working. That said, being only self-taught there is much I still do not know, especially concerning restoring old leather. My Sister brought me he...

    I bought this saddle from a very nice tack ship in Chesterfield, Mo in the early 1970's. The owner told me it was made by a very good saddle maker, and it appeared old then. I really did not use it much but have kept it all this time time because it feels like a a "really good saddle." Upon invest...
