New Saddle

[TroyWest]

These pictures have been in my camera for months. Just put them on the computer. It's an O.Y. roper with a flat plate. I made the tree and the conchos too. Tree is made of poplar and covered with rawhide. Conchos are solid sterling. Thanks for looking.

I sure understand about having pics for months and not getting them posted! Who has time for this shameless self promotion..... Exceptionally nice work Troy! Overall balance is very attractive to me. Thanks for posting this inspiration.

Very Nice!!

Looks like a lot of time went into the saddle.

The best part.

You did it all!

Troy,

that saddle is beautiful; it's a pleasure to look at a saddle and see all the little details finished so smoothly. I'm guessing that cantle binding wasn't too much fun to sew being flipped down some and the leading edge so far forward... looks like seven or eight stitches per inch?

Nice work!

Without question, that is the type of work we all aspire to. Please continue to post pics of all of your work, it gives us inspiration. Very very nice!

Keith, I read your post to my wife and we both got a kick out of it. Wish you would do a little more shameless self promotion on here. We love to see your work. Thanks for

the kind word.

GrandpaJoel and Bob, Thank you both very much.

Darcy, I do like my cantles turned down and my binders close to the edge. It is only 6 stitches per inch though. Thank you for the kind words also.

Hey Steve, Thank you too.

Troy,

As always... A great job! Everyone else has already commented on balance, beauty and style so there's not a lot more to add except to join in the concert of accolades. I have always liked the uniqueness of the open diamond patterns that many of your saddle carry.

Regards,

Ben

Troy, thanks for posting such high quality work for the rest of us to see. It sure sets a high goal for me. I always like to see the pretty bar-grounding with the Sheridan style. Regards, Aermotor.
