Members Turtlepaint Posted February 12, 2010 Members Report Posted February 12, 2010 Hello Andy, I can just agree to the others, and - I can really do it, because I see the saddle in real and can ride it now every day!! Just great like the other one you made for me. I am so sorry for not having the saddle stings ready for this pictures, but I will share that later with you and the others. A huge compliment, Bea Quote
Members D.A. Kabatoff Posted February 12, 2010 Members Report Posted February 12, 2010 Really nice work Andy, love the carve job! Are you happening to be bringing that to Kamloops this year?... cause if you are, I'd better get off the computer and get to work. Darcy Quote
Members RWB Posted February 12, 2010 Members Report Posted February 12, 2010 Great looking saddle . Smooth lines good color. I like the horn on it. What is it, a #4 dally. Who made the tree? Ross Quote
Members TroyWest Posted February 12, 2010 Members Report Posted February 12, 2010 Real nice Andy. Great color. I see you put no screw under the swell. Customer request? Back dee overlayed with silver and engraved? Nice job. Troy Quote

Members Ulf Posted February 12, 2010 Members Report Posted February 12, 2010 Hello Andy, it´s almost one year ago now!! One day i will make a saddle like that. It looks sooo good. I have more saddle on the way now. Still working on my first swedish made saddle, have some headstalls to make first! So this year will be full!! Feels so good! Take care!! Quote
Members GAP Posted February 13, 2010 Members Report Posted February 13, 2010 In the simplest of words, in my simple vocabulary, that is one terrific job! Muy, muy, bueno! Gives me something to keep me motivated. Shucks, there is so much darn nice work on here, I get lost! Wished I had found this site a few years ago. Id'a still been lost, but what a place to be lost in! So many posts to challenge the creativity... Quote
TimKleffner Posted February 13, 2010 Report Posted February 13, 2010 Andy I have to agree with everyone else. GREAT lines and color. Nice tooling. Thanks for posting the pic Happy tooling Tim Quote
Members Newfman Posted February 13, 2010 Members Report Posted February 13, 2010 Hey Andy, I'm amazed by the texture and depth of the tooling. It really Pops! It reminds me of those artists that do pencil drawings and they come out looking like a black and white photograph. The level of talent around here is just . . . stupefying! I love it, thanks for sharing. D Quote
