That is wonderful.

I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with.

Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day.

From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.

No, it is a wooden tree with fiberglass cover. I build my own trees.

Man is that nice! Gorgeous even.

 

Just curious since I've seen it on a few saddles on here, and I mean no disrespect, is there a reason not to dye them or is it a customer driven thing? It seems like of the recent saddle pics I've seen they were largely or completely undyed. Not that it looks bad but you'd think with all the colors available that natural would be one of the least chosen options. Unless the customer wants to go after their own story with whatever wear/patina happens to be.

You are one of the few people that I know that actually make their own trees! That has to save you a few 100 I would think!

WOW. do you engrave the silver plates yourself?

Also is that real or artificial shearling? hard to tell and I assume real but.... curious is all.
