mworthan Report post Posted January 3, 2012 Hello, Wanted to wish everyone here a Happy New Year and thanks again for all your help this past year. Just finished my nephew's saddle in time for Christmas and wanted to send a long a few pictures for review. I am lacking (as far as I know of ) of many local saddlemakers to bounce my work off of for critique. This is the forth one I have made and would welcome some feedback. Please point out where I can stand improvement and how best to get there. Thanks, Mike Worthan Rome, GA Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aurelie Report post Posted January 3, 2012 Yup ! lucky guy! Nice big work on that one! i like the way you laced the billets As for the "critiques"...it's really hard to critique because each saddle you build you improve something or can do something better than last time or going off on an other thing that was fine the last time.... nothing is perfect but nonetheless It can be good and nice only thing i would dare telling you is about the stitching line on the binding : quite not straight all the way..... but been there done that i know how tricky it can be!! so i would say : keep going! nice job Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the input. I appreciate it. - Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
