Great stuff, Ashley!

Every time I come here I become more and more humble. Or is that "humbled?"

Ashley,

Very cool work. Looks like we get at least some of our bucking rolls from the same source. I like your work. Looks like at least on the slickfork with the chocoalte bucking rolls, you did a one piece rear jockey. That so?? Looks very clean, and reminds me of a guy's work I admire. Thanks for posting these pics.

Very nice, i ve been wanting to build a saddle for a long time but dont seem to convince myself to go a head as there isnt any courses or really good western saddle builders over here where you could gain experience from one day maybe, still nice work. Don

I'm no expert on saddles, but that looks like some good work to these eyes. Looking forward to seeing some more pics in the future!

Best, -Alex

Thank you all for the comments I will try to post more as time goes on.

I did do a one piece rear jockey on the slickfork, a very good friend of mine and teacher is John " the saddleman" out of texas. He does that on his saddles. I dont know if that is who you were talking about.

Ashley,

On the one piece rear jockeys, I was referring to Ken Tipton ("Tip's" in Winnemucca, NV). His saddles have them. I see the one piece jockeys occasionally, and am usually impressed when someone can (1) uses an piece of leather that is appropriate for that, and (2) can make them fit right. Unfortunately, I am still a two piece and lacer. When I get to the point of doing a saddle-show saddle, I am going to do the one piece.
