steveh Report post Posted September 11, 2012 you will have to reduce the size of your picture in order to load it.. As you may know the saddle maker is from clayton new mexico 1890 to 1940's from dan and sebie hutchings book. restoration depends on the condition of the leather, cleaning and oiling should help preserve it.if you replace the wool skin be sure to use the same stitch holes, may want to use linen to be historically correct.replacing saddle strings if the old ones are broke and or missing.
