jwwright Report post Posted March 14, 2008 I finished up this ranch cutter last week, which is my saddle #3. It sold the day I finished it, so I felt good about that. I sure get a lot out of everyone's experience here, Thank You for that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paris3200 Report post Posted March 14, 2008 Absolutely beautiful. Sigh, I really need to learn how to make saddles. To me they are the perfect match of art and practicality. Jason Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tackmaker Report post Posted April 21, 2008 jw that is a great saddle. where did you get the tree.what kind of horn did you have put in the tree? thanks judy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grumpyguy Report post Posted April 21, 2008 Classy job! Unusual to see "mulehide wrap" on a cutter, is the tree and horn designed for more than just a handle to steady a rider cutting in an arena? Most cutters aren't made to stand up to a rope as the trees are often thin southern pine for the bars and small bases on the horn. Nice flat seat which would appeal to serious cutting competiors.

jwwright Report post Posted April 21, 2008 Tackmaker............the tree is from Ray Lewis, and it is a ranch cutter, with a TD (Texas Dally) horn, 3" tall. I have used 6 trees from Ray so far, and have been happy with them. Grumpyguy.........this is a ranch cutter. More bar surface area than your standard BW cutter tree. It will stand up to what ever you care to put your rope on. Matter of fact, this one pictured already has. The feller that bought it doctors lots of yearlings, and competes in ranch versatility contests as well. Many Thanks to you both for your comments.
