PcCowboy Report post Posted June 27, 2013 This is a parade saddle that I restored for an old customer of Wilford Lewis. Half the conchos and hardware was missing.The company that made the original conchos and hardware went out of business over 30 years ago. Had to start from scratch and re-design it for modern hardware Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bob Blea Report post Posted June 27, 2013 Very nice! The saddle looks great. Were you able to match the existing conchos enough to reuse them or is that all new conchos and spots? Also, did you have to replace any of the leather on the saddle? Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PcCowboy Report post Posted June 28, 2013 All new conchos. Same style with the diamonds only I had to re-design it for bigger diamonds since I couldn't fine the tiny ones that was used before. I replaced the back cantel binding and the padded seat. And some of the buckstitching. It was fun trying to match the new buckstitching color to the old yellow ones that use to be white.
