Members StolpSaddles Posted February 10, 2009 Members Report Posted February 10, 2009 My wife talked me into building a saddle that was fully tooled. I built one similar to this one but not as much tooling. The saddle is built with herman oak leather on a Bowden 15 1/2 tree. I used Tandy ecoflow antique with no blocking. The seat insert is chap leather with all other black leather as latigo leather to resist impact damage. The conchos are actual 45 lc shells cut down. The seat insert is in the shape of a spade with 2 aces carved into the cantel seat. Now I can say I am sitting on a pair of Aces The problem with a custom saddle you also need custom saddle bags, head stall, reins, riffle scabbard, holsters....oh no it never ends,,,chaps..
