Really nice looking saddle.

I like the details, nice touch with the lace stiching:-)

Elton,

Nice job on the saddle! Nice tool work and good job with finishing touches!

I would like to see a photo of your "jig" for the rear billets stitching.

Keep up the great work!

Elton,

Sure couldn't tell from looking that it's only your second one. I really like your tooling, that's a neat flower.

I dont consider myself a "real" saddle maker so I'll be interested in seeing what they have to say. I like pretty and yours fits that. One thing I can say. On a cantle like that, I like the hidden stitch on the back. I can't keep my stitches very straight on the back side so hiding them was a good option for me.

Hey Elton:

Nice job Buddy, not a fan of buckstitching at all but it's not my saddle. It looks great. Smooth lines and the carving, as always looks nice and crisp. Congratulations. This ones a winner.

ps; I got the rivet setters. Thanx

Great job Elton! I'm still working on my second and it's not as good as yours. You did a fantastic job.

I really like the border standing. I'd also like to see the jig that you have to sew the billets.
