Members jwwright Posted March 10, 2009 Members Report Posted March 10, 2009 Here are a few photos of a Wade I finished up this past weekend. Jon Watsabaugh tree, Herman Oak leather, Watt Horseshoe Brand hardware. I have been building primarily swell forks. This is the 3rd Wade I have built. Thank You, JW Quote
Members Butch Posted March 10, 2009 Members Report Posted March 10, 2009 Awesome work as usual. Very nice. Butch Quote
Members jbird Posted March 10, 2009 Members Report Posted March 10, 2009 Very nice as all ways. I have a question and you might say a dumb one but a have never got the reason for using the suede of back side of the leather for your finish side or the side you see is it just for looks or what's the thought train behind this Josh Quote
Bob Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 JW, nice saddle. I like to see the work your doing, looks good. Quote
ArtS Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 Awesome job! I really like your work. I like that design. How do you treat the rough our seat? Just oil? Top coat? Art Quote
gtwister09 Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 JW, Nice work! I like the contrast of the roughout and the stamped. Regards, Ben Quote
Members flathat4life Posted March 11, 2009 Members Report Posted March 11, 2009 Yep... as always JW, nice job! Jed Quote
Members jbird Posted March 11, 2009 Members Report Posted March 11, 2009 I do not any way want you to think I have or did have any bad thoughts on the saddle just curious. Josh Quote
Moderator bruce johnson Posted March 11, 2009 Moderator Report Posted March 11, 2009 Josh, Not JW, but the roughout gives you a little better grip and keeps you from sliding around quite as much as a smooth out saddle. It also shows scratches less. JW, Another one with a great stamp job. What's going to be next, a triweave? Seems like you have mastered all the others so far. Quote
hidepounder Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 Another good looking saddle JW! If you want to maintain your sanity, however, don't do a Triweave! Bob Quote
Members jwwright Posted March 11, 2009 Author Members Report Posted March 11, 2009 Thanks for the generous comments folks. jbird............Bruce answered the rough out question well. It is a personal preference thing. ArtS..........I use just neatsfoot oil on the rough out. A little Tan Coat on the smooth out. Bruce, Thank You for the compliment but I sure don't think I've ever mastered anything yet........cept maybe drinking coffee and dipping snuff. Pretty good at those things. Never have run a tri weave stamp. Actually, I need to be working on my carving. That is a long way from being decent for me. JW Quote
