rwc Report post Posted March 24, 2008 This is my first saddle to make and first attempt at posting a picture. It's a bad shot but if successful will get another made and post. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jwwright Report post Posted March 25, 2008 Congratulations on your accomplishment. It's a learning experience, isn't it? Have you ridden it yet? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rwc Report post Posted March 25, 2008 I have ridden it and made it for myself to ride. I've ridden a lot of saddles and probably like it the most of any...wonder why?I train and trail ride and (personally) find tooling hard to keep clean. I mainly wanted a work saddle and yes it definetly is a learning experience. I know I can do much better next time and will get started tooling.This board has been a lot of help as has my local friend Mr. Hattely. I had nightmares of it just totally disentergrating when I stepped into the stirrup but has not as of yet and I'm confident it won't. Here's another pic.

" and of course i will saddle up with you and ride the range" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bob Report post Posted March 25, 2008 It's quite a mile stone to have actually finished your first saddle. I've seen it where someone wants to build their own saddle, buy all the makings and materials. Get started only to leave it and never finish it. Congratulations on completing your first saddle.
