Since my right hand's stove up for 6-8 weeks, I would like some recommended reading on sheridan leather carving, leather hist, etc..cowboy stuff, too

The art of making leather cases by Al Stohlman is a very nice book to learn more about the engineering side of leathercrafting. The art of Sewing leather might come in handy as well alltough I haven't read that one myself.

Sheridan Style Carving by Bob Likewise featuring Bill Gardner & Clinton Faye.

Diddo on Hide Pounder's recommendations. I would only suggest that you read it 3-4 times a day for the next 4-6 weeks. You will be the Sheridan god!

Best wishes and speedy recovery.

Thanks for the tip. My wonderful wife just went right out and bought it (Sheridan style carving) at the local tandy shop. Only read the first few pages and boy, what a great book!!! thanks again...bob

I'd check to see if your library has a great book with the simple title of Saddles. It documents early saddles, how the styles have changed, some with beautiful elaborate carvings. Many wonderful black and white photos of the earlier saddles.
