First Set Of Bucking Rolls

[firetoad]

Well, another first for me. I just completed my first set of bucking rolls and they are now installed on my saddle. Pretty simple to construct, but I still need practice with my sewing machine! ;-)

They look nice, good shape. How did you attach them under the fork and what did you stuff them with? I am used to seeing them attached to each other with a small strap between them and laced through a small hole in the seat right behind the handhole.

Thanks for the compliment!

They are stuffed, and I mean STUFFED, with poly fill like you buy at the fabric store. I wanted some give and rigidity at the same time. The chap leather is flesh side out for a roughout on the rolls themselves. Better grippy, grippy.

I attached the center-pointed D-ring end of the rolls to the underside of the pommel with a latigo strap that I cut. I attached a couple additional pictures so the you can see the method of attachment.
