just can't get enough of the spice! - or, you'd be amazed what a saddler is asked to make here in the UK other then saddles that is!

I was tempted to post a few of my many unsuccessful experiments but know they'ed be better off displayed on a forum about Horror movies.

Cheers for your comment

Welcome to the forum Troy, great to have you here. Checked out your website, some very very nice looking carvings you've done.

Lovely stuff, like you say variety is the spice of life, again lovely to see another uk'r. How long did the saddle take it looks beautiful.

Great to see many UK'ers here, Tandy opening a store in Northampton must be a god send to all - great leather without import taxes.

As for saddle making, average is two weeks to make but tends to take longer in the planning stage - last saddle was built on a custom tree that took 3 months to make.

Hi Troy,

That's some nice work you have there. I live about 50 miles south of the Border (Scotland not Mexico) so I know how difficult it can feel working in isolation. This forum is a bit like a bar room where you can chat like minded buddies.

Keep posting
