Members harrington Posted August 15, 2011 Members Report Posted August 15, 2011 (edited) Finished the all leather ground seat and put on the rigging plates today. It's on a Timberline Ray Hunt Wade tree, Watt hardware and Hermann Oak skirting. Will be a good, basic, rough-out cowboy saddle when done. Edited August 15, 2011 by harrington Quote
Members ct701996 Posted August 16, 2011 Members Report Posted August 16, 2011 did you design the rigging pattern? Quote
Members harrington Posted August 17, 2011 Author Members Report Posted August 17, 2011 I took my original pattern from Stohlman's books, then fine-tuned from there to make it fit the tree and Watt hardware at 7/8 position. Thanks for looking. Quote
Members GianniWest Posted September 27, 2011 Members Report Posted September 27, 2011 Beautiful. As the work went forward? Quote
Members harrington Posted September 27, 2011 Author Members Report Posted September 27, 2011 I have been slowly working on it. I have the fork cover, horn cover, cantle back and filler, skirts blocked and plugged and have slicked and stretched the stirrup leathers. Working on fitting the back jockeys and the seat next. Hope to have it done by the end of October, will post some new pics later. thanks for looking, Tom Quote
Members GianniWest Posted September 27, 2011 Members Report Posted September 27, 2011 Good job, congratulations. I'm waiting for the material, then I'll try Quote
Members harrington Posted October 3, 2011 Author Members Report Posted October 3, 2011 Same saddle with the seat put in for the first time. It will have an inlaid padded seat, which is the extra piece seen under the drawdown strap. It will form the base of the inlay "pillow" which was expertly described on the forum by Keith Seidel.

Members Aurelie Posted October 17, 2011 Members Report Posted October 17, 2011 nice! how is it going? i can't wait to see the "final" result! i guess it will "rock"! i really would like to build an all rough out saddle but i know it will not sell here in France because people are not used to see that.....too bad for me Quote
Members harrington Posted October 17, 2011 Author Members Report Posted October 17, 2011 I sewed the cantle binding yesterday, drilled the tree, lined and sewed the skirts and finished the back cinch and tugs, both latigo lined and stitched. I should be able to get it done in the evenings this week and have the customer pick it up by the weekend. He is anxious to start riding it. I'll post pics when finished. Quote
Members GianniWest Posted October 28, 2011 Members Report Posted October 28, 2011 Very nice harrington! Very food work Quote
