Steve,

Thanks for posting the pics. I have another side of leather ordered and when it gets in I'm going to get started again. I always like studying the pictures you post of your saddles. They are the kind I want to build someday.

Thanks,

CW,

The best trick I can say is practice. I do not know how many saddles you have built. I have done a few with welts and then some Will James with out welts. The last Assc I built I had to do the swells 3 times before I got the look right, I wanted. It was a waste of leather, but that is the devil in this world of saddle making you have to waste leather for the practice. I have always said it will take a person starting building saddles twice as much leather as seasoned pro.

Ashley,

You got that right. This is the first one I have tried to cover. It's just a rebuild of an old saddle I swapped for to ride colts in. Thought it would be good practice befor I started from scratch. If it turns out alright I want to sell it and turn it into more tools and leather.

Sorry I missed your post before.
