gtwister09 Posted September 22, 2010 Report Posted September 22, 2010 Steve, What a nice clean working saddle.... I agree someone will be proud of that one. Regards, Ben Quote
Members jwwright Posted September 22, 2010 Members Report 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
Members GrampaJoel Posted September 22, 2010 Members Report 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

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.

Members GrampaJoel Posted September 24, 2010 Members Report 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
