Hallo everybody leatherfriends

I very happy, that i found this forum. I surprised from many leather enthusiasts on this forum, and i hope i can join to discusions.

Over 20 years i practice "leatherwork", last 10 years i have my professional workshop. Sphere of my leather work is very wideopen, but i most interested in western saddle making.

Last time i try bootmaking.

Because i an archery enthusiastic, i make archery equipment too.

WOW.....I need vacation for deeply inspection of this forum..........is a lot of interested informations.

Thanks for appreciations

Saddle in a picture was build for LEATHER CRAFTERS AND SADDLERS JOURNAL TRADE SHOW in2005. At present i few years co-operate and work with FRINTA SADDLERY(biggest western saddlery company in our country) as a master saddlemaker. This saddle is anniversary 1000th saddle. Whole project ,making and tooling i create myself.

But i need much freedom for my work so i can try next and next leather projects, new styles of tooling or bootmaking for example...

Those boots are build from custom tanned roebuck skin(i hunted myself). Double stitched frame,lining is pig skin, rubber sole with rough tread.....as i like it.

There are my next favorite boots. Black/camo leather on top........for my long forestal walks with my dog

Looks good!

Don't worry about your English, I had relatives on my father's side from Czechoslovakia and they were in this country (in Chicago) for fifty years or so and your English is way better than theirs. They were in a Czeck neighborhood and never needed to learn English.
