Members Go2Tex Posted February 10, 2009 Members Report Posted February 10, 2009 (edited) Just to show ya'll that I have actually been doing something besides playing on the Leatherworker forum............. Got all the goodies on this one. Bork hardware, W&C chestnut leather, Weber 4" brass bell stirrups, Weaver shearling wool, built on a Ben Swanke tree, my first from him and I really enjoyed it. What a nice tree! I think I'm hooked. I included some contruction pics to show how I layed this cantle back and the sharper break, though not perfect, the importance of the groundwork became crystal clear on this one.

Ambassador The Major Posted February 10, 2009 Ambassador Report Posted February 10, 2009 Thats a really nice looking saddle. I really liked the way you transitioned from the meandering to the floral work. Great job.

Members clairmullin Posted February 10, 2009 Members Report Posted February 10, 2009 Nice! Love the color! Quote
hidepounder Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 Really nice Brent! I, too, like the way you brought the border out from behind the floral corners. It adds a lot depth to the tooling design. Good job! Bob Quote

Ambassador Luke Hatley Posted February 10, 2009 Ambassador Report Posted February 10, 2009 GREAT LOOKING SADDLE.. whad did you you use to put on as a final finish? Quote Luke
gtwister09 Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 Brent, Very very nice.... As always I love the additional photos and details that are shown. For instance without the back to front shot, we would have never seen all the extra detail of the floral work on the back of the cantle and the binding. Additional detail like that would have helped sell the saddle. Great shots. Regards, Ben Quote
