Members WinterBear Posted June 6, 2011 Members Report Posted June 6, 2011 could you tell me what kind of leather the bottom pony is sitting on please. I have been looking for some of that for a while. diane Looks like elephant? Quote I used to be an Eagle, a good ol' Eagle too...
Members ChuckBurrows Posted June 6, 2011 Members Report Posted June 6, 2011 Looks like elephant? It's American Bison aka buffalo - I got that from Colorado Leather Goods - they have a website........ FWIW - I too have a bad back situation (five ruptured discs altogether) and found that using a pony rather than a horse was better on my back than a full-sized horse. The pony works great on smaller stuff such as holsters, knifesheaths, etc. and I even hand sew my chaps using one. Whichecer pattern you use I think you will find the pony the better "deal" considering your situation.

I thought it might be elephant because of the checking--I've been shown a piece that looked much like it. I'll have to get some of that bison hide... It might be time for me to wander down to Colorado or see if the Terry Bison Ranch sells it. Quote I used to be an Eagle, a good ol' Eagle too...

Never been to their website. Yeah, their website still looks like it did right after Al Gore invented the internet... I know business have to make their own decisions about their internet footprint but it is so easy now to make a website that their really is no excuse for this level of incompetence. A 4th grader could get a yahoo business site up and running in an hour that would blow theirs away. Hard to imagine how much money goes to other companies because they can't get a decent site up.

LNLeather Posted June 13, 2011 Report Posted June 13, 2011 (edited) This is a picture of a stitching pony I bought from duckcreektraders backin 09 that was included in a Leather Work & Repair Kit If you can make a stitching pony, that would be great because you can customize it by making it taller or making the base piece longer if needed. I don't sit on mine, I just put it under one leg. Because the top clamp swivels on the base, I can easily turn the clamp slightly if needed while I am stitching the leather.

Bill Virginia I don't know why you have your panties in a wad. I clicked on go shopping and went right to it. Whats your site look like ? Quote I'm old enough to know that i don't know everything.
Members Steve Lowe Posted June 18, 2012 Members Report Posted June 18, 2012 I took the pic from Tandy and went into my father's shop and made one with soft pine -some altered dimensions and it turned out great and only cost pennys since we used scrap lumber in his shop. Quote
