Introduction and 1st try

[BBAYS]

My name is Brian Bays. I am a farrier and avid trail rider in northeast Ohio. Last summer I went to a local leatherworker to have some custom saddlebags made. Was unhappy with the quality so I made my own. I was hooked. I bought a Dusty Johnson dvd and book, the Stohlman series, found this websight, and studied a lot of saddles. This is what I came up with. I made it for myself. Please give me your honest feedback and suggestions. Its the best way to learn.
