Members jonwatsabaugh Posted February 23, 2008 Members Report Posted February 23, 2008 dug a couple pix out of the archives. Built the saddle on the horse for good cowboy and good friend, Jack Day. The other one was built for his nephew. Jon Quote

Members D.A. Kabatoff Posted February 23, 2008 Members Report Posted February 23, 2008 Hi Jon, Those are some nice looking saddles... nice, clean work with pleasing lines. Got any closeups to show off the finer details like handstitching, ear cuts, etc...? Darc Quote

Moderator bruce johnson Posted February 23, 2008 Moderator Report Posted February 23, 2008 Jon, Great work. I have liked seeing everything posted. I like your tooling style, and like Art said, we all have something to aspire to. And as an aside to everyone, I personally want to thank ALL of the talented makers and just as importantly the folks asking questions. Especially in the last couple months, the amount of knowledge kicked around here has been phenomenal. It can only improve the whole industry when the bar is raised, and there are so many hands pulling the rest of us up and over. Thanks to everyone.

First of Jon lovely saddles and top workmanship, there are so manny talented saddlers here its amazing, although i love the old style saddles i still recognice beutifull workmanship in a modern style saddle, and as Bruce mensioned here i have learned so much by reading these topics and looking at the pics from you guys, its knowledge that you dont find in any books or vids and i for one am truly greatfull to all of you saddlers that are willing to pass on this valuble info and share youre experience so openly its one of a kind felowmanship (is that a word) anyway i dont want to hijack to mutch i just wanted to let you know how much its apresiated, Don Quote
