Saddle Tree Types

[roughout]

I'm looking for input on different styles of Wade trees. I was under the impression Wade itself was primarily based on stick thickness of the fork. However, I see a lot of different names thrown around; Ray Hunt Wade, Homestead Wade,Cliff Wade, 58 Wade, etc. I was told by someone that those names were specific to the tree maker. This person said specifically that Cliff Wade was a Bowden design. But, I have seen the Cliff Wade name on trees other than Bowden. Any input on the difference between these tree styles would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

There is no bureau of standards so they can vary from tree maker to tree maker. Your most conclusive answer would come by asking each tree maker that you might deal with for pictures or other descriptions of their styles.
