Big Horn Wade

[jwwright]

I finished this one up a few days ago. The tree was made by Jon Watsabaugh, true Wade 5" fork stock, the horn is 3.75" tall with 1.25" slope, the cap is round 6" finished. The cantle is 12" by 5" tall. The fella that ordered this saddle usually rides single rigged, but he did want the option of double rigging this saddle so........It is a plate rig with the ring hardware, and there are rear slots for flank billets kind of hidden so it looks like a single rig. The leather is Herman Oak, the stirrups are by Trina Weber and the cantle plate was done by Steve Burton. JW

Thanks for the generous comments Picon and Luke...........boy, you guys are stacking it on ol Wes pretty good! You guys must know him from the RC board?.....I know he spends quite a bit of time there. I've got to know him pretty well the past few years, and he is a real good hand with a horse and cattle, and has built up a nice cow/calf and yearling operation. Luke..............the humidity can be tough on things if they are not taken care of........but it could be worse........this rig could be going to the west Texas red dust country! Thanks again, JW.
