Ulf, UL Western Saddlery Sweden. www.ulws.se (only in swedish so far, but some pics)! Hej Ulf! Welcome to the forum ! It was nice meeting you at the High Chaparrall. At the moment I´m building a mountain man saddle ( 1830) and I´m sweating over the construction of a mochila. Vi får höras!

Vilka fler är det som bygger westernsadlar förutom du o jag? / Knut Hej Ulf Welcome to the forum. Wishing you success and prosperity with your endevour. Knut I would like to see some pictures of your mountain man saddle. Are you using a Hope saddle tree?
