St8LineGunsmith Report post Posted February 27, 2014 Well several people have inspired me to build a saddle after thirty year hiatus I got a good deal on a tree or at least I think it is a good deal what you old pros think? got it for 38 bucks shipped the seller says it is unused but it has been in storage for a few years Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwight Report post Posted February 27, 2014 Whoa, . . . I saw it over on CAS, . . . thought by the time I got here, . . . you would have something done, . . . Seriously, . . . I don't know if I'd ever do it, . . . though I would like to. I found an old Jumbo stock saddle, . . . probably at least as old as I am, . . . I'm most likely going to spend part of the spring "re-juvenating" it, . . . take it to my cousins later on, . . . check it out. Keep us posted on this one, . . . whenever you do something to it, . . . send us pics, . . . I would love to be able to see the progress. May God bless, Dwight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
St8LineGunsmith Report post Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) Dwight Actually the tree has not shipped yet. EDIT: just got a shipped confirmation... YE HAAAAA! Ya I am planning on taking photos of my progresI I can tell you it will be a drawn out project because money is too tight around here to put into leather and hardware all in one purchase. I will just work on a piece at a time. American Saddlery is just down the road and they sell top notch Sho Tan Leather and hardware. I plan on going down there next week to see how much I can expect to spend on skirting and hardware I also saw a Mcclellan saddle tree which I really would like to build one of those also.
