My New Wade

[Alan Bell]

Here are some pics of a saddle I made for myself, I'll try and get some close ups later but wanted to post it here. It is on a Nikkel tree, Hermann Oak leather fully tooled, 22" tapaderos, latigo wrapped 3X4 horn, 4" cantle, crossover rope strap, wrapped and set stirrups. Any comments, critiques etc. welcome and appreciated!

Vaya con Dios, Alan

Awesome job on the saddle and nice to see you posting some work again.

You actually came up in a couple different conversations at the braiding workshop this weekend in San Diego lol.

Hope everything is well up north,

Alan,

It is great to see our work covered up so well. That's what we make them for! You have done a really good job on it. Now, how does it ride?

[BondoBobCustomSaddles]

Hi Alan, glad to see more of your work here. Enjoy ridin' in it. Certainly will catch a few eyes on the trail or in the ring. Nice work.

Thanks everyone! The saddle rides nice! Really comfortable seat if I do say so myself! Denise it is the tree made for me that came with Chris's tree ( moved my files and can't locate number) I'll be calling later today to order some trees! How long is the wait up to now?

[Rod and Denise Nikkel]

Alan, wait time isn't too long at the moment. A couple months, maybe 2 1/2. Thanks for the orders.

Rod likes the saddle he made for himself too. (Not as pretty as yours, but pretty good for a first saddle.) Fits him perfectly! Nothing like being able to feel how it will feel for the final rider to get it right!
