Josh,

I believe Weaver does carry those trees. If I'm not mistaken, Tandy used to carry them as well. I'm not sure if they do anymore though.

Someone call me?

jbird,

I just went to www.ralide.com they used to make the molded plastic trees in miniature size. I could not find them on their website.

They also made stirrups in miniature, could not find them either.

You can get wood rawhide bound miniature trees from several makers, but they are about the same price as the big ones.

I used to get some from Mexico but the go-between guy died and I don't know where he was getting them from.

If I run across one I will let you know. I dont use them anymore because they only come in one style that can be spotted from a mile away.

Hope this helps.

And keep the noise down Bob, I'm trying to get some work done over here!

Hey Josh,

I emailed Ralide about the mini trees & stirrups, I did not see them on their website either. They do have them! Also, I have the patterns and directions from Tandy's if you need. Also check back issues of Leather Crafters & Saddlers Journal they ran a "How to" artical for the mini saddle, chaps & bridle.

Here is the info from Ralide:

Dear Rick, Yes we still carry the miniature tree RT050 for $18.18 each

and discount if order 36 or more.

The mini stirrups a pair are RS2109 $4.76 a pair.

Best regards,

Nicole

Don't know if this is too late, but I have one of those mini tree's with stirrups - was another of those plans I had years ago that I just did'nt get round to but given the postage these days, it is probably cheaper to get them from ralide unless someone in the UK or europe wants it.
