Members TroyWest Posted January 16, 2010 Members Report Posted January 16, 2010 I agree with JW. Classic Steve Brewer saddle. I don't see a Blevins sleeve. Did you use Kreger Buckles? Quote

I used Kregers Troy.Thats about all I use on Cowboy saddles,except I lace a few.On rope saddles & Show saddles I will use Brass Blevins. Quote

Moderator bruce johnson Posted January 16, 2010 Moderator Report Posted January 16, 2010 Steve, Another great looking rig with that really lines up. Two questions - Is the rope strap throught the swell cover or just under that leather concho and screwed down? How wide are your strings? Hard to tell from a pic, but they look maybe a bit under 1/2"? I had a guy call yesterday looking for off the rack silver slotted for 3/8 strings.

Members Traveller Posted January 16, 2010 Members Report Posted January 16, 2010 I always enjoy your saddles, Steve. The clean lines and the way they're balanced are always such a pleasure to see. Could you post a photo of Kreger buckles? I haven't heard of them before. Thanks for the pic, Steve! Joanne Quote

Members Tosch Posted January 17, 2010 Members Report Posted January 17, 2010 (edited) Traveller, Google is your friend, here you go : http://www.leathersu...es&Leathers.pdf Steve, where do you see the advantage over Blevins? Not so much bulk? So that you (as a user) would pay the price of it being more complicated to unhook? Tosch Edited January 17, 2010 by Tosch Quote
TimKleffner Posted January 17, 2010 Report Posted January 17, 2010 Steve Nice work as always. I sure like your work. Thanks for sharing the pics Happy tooling Tim Quote It's hard to fail, but worse never to have tried to succeed.Theodore Roosevelt
gtwister09 Posted January 17, 2010 Report Posted January 17, 2010 Steve, Somehow this slipped past me. I have to agree with all the others that you have great looking smooth lines in your work as always. Thanks for the pictures. Regards, Ben Quote

Tosch Thomas,Less bulk,no sleve to wear out,and they are easiy to changeOne draw back is you need to run the keeper string in the next hole down or you will lose the keeper Steve Quote
Members RyanCope Posted January 18, 2010 Members Report Posted January 18, 2010 Steve, Good looking saddle. Ryan Quote
Members Traveller Posted January 18, 2010 Members Report Posted January 18, 2010 Traveller, Google is your friend, here you go : http://www.leathersu...es&Leathers.pdf quote] I take it they're the ones in the lower left of the first page? They don't look quite as sturdy as Blevins, and look like they could lift out. Does that ever happen? They do look like they'd be easier to adjust than Blevins (or string, of course). Sorry, Steve, I don't quite understand what you mean about running the keeper string in the next hole down. I assume it's the leather string that hangs down from the keeper plate - you're saying you have to string it through a hole or it can get lost? Thanks! Joanne Quote
