jwwright Report post Posted September 22, 2010 Real nice Steve, as usual. I personally really like a rough out. Currently building a couple of them in the shop. JW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrampaJoel Report post Posted September 22, 2010 That saddle has a great look. I love ruff-out! I have always found on my friends saddles that are ruff out, that they start off looking real nice , but soon don't. With dirt and oil from use soon mixing into a big dirty mess. I would like to ask, How would a person go about keeping a saddle as beautiful as the rough-out one pictured above, looking beautiful? Is there a secret method, Or, am I missing the point? Thanks Joel Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Joel Joel,Keep it cleaned with saddle soap and a soft wire wheel to ruff the nap back up.Should look good again.The rough out take alot of abuse that doesn't show up like a smoothout would.All saddles need to be cleaned and reconditioned a couple of times a year if used hard.

GrampaJoel Report post Posted September 24, 2010 Thanks for the reply Steve. Is the wire wheel you're referring to one that goes on a dremel or drill? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
