Members jwwright Posted February 15, 2009 Members Report Posted February 15, 2009 Yeah, there is some interest in Wades down here, but it looks like I'm gonna have to start building some swell forks so folks recognize that it's supposed to go on a horse. I'm also working on a more typical South Texas ranch saddle finish...... yeah, neatsfoot oil mixed with sand, then drug through some cactus for that "antique" look. That oughta turn some heads. hehehAnd, I've come up with a new carving feature to adorn them..... the poison oak leaf design with cutter ant bite holes in everything else. It seems poison oak is about the only thing they won't eat. Ha!..........that's pretty good, and true. Since I am about 2/3rds west Texan myself, I understand. I build swell forks primarily, but I am working on a wade currently. Getting ready to build a hybrid.......swell fork with a wood post horn. Again Brent, really nice work!

Members jwwright Posted February 15, 2009 Members Report Posted February 15, 2009 (edited) Don't tell me, let me quess.... a modified association by any chance? I have actually built the swell fork / wood post horn combo with Buster Welch Roper style swells, Will James and a mod association. This one coming up would probably best be described as a Low Association. This one will be for myself, and Jon Watsabaugh is building the tree. Maybe I can remember to post a photo of the tree when Jon gets it ready. JW Edited February 15, 2009 by jwwright Quote www.jwwrightsaddlery.com
