Very, very nice JW! I like the hidden stiched back cantel! This is the first one I've seen though I have heard mention of it before. Is it very difficult to do?

Another great looking saddly, JW. You have been busy this last year. I hope you have a great year coming.

Grumpy, Thank You. I have done about a dozen of these hidden stitch binds so far, and I am starting to get them where they are almost smooth enough to suit me. I find them easier really for me to get a good appearance, as when doing a regular bind I have trouble getting the backside stitches to be as uniform as I like. The hidden stitch kind of eliminates that problem.

Ashley.........Thank You as well. I hope you and your family have a great 2009.

Nicely done. I hate it when people let the tooling get in the way of getting the basics right. Good balance, nice rise in the ground seat, should be a comfortable seat. Do you use leather or tin for your ground seats?

Thanks Bob. I build a seat with a metal strainer, or some of the trees I use have the strainer glassed in. I have never built an all leather ground seat, although I am going to do at least one soon, just because I want to. JW
