Hello all! Just wanted to say what a great site and I am glad to be a member. There is so much info and great people I will be checking often. My name is Justin Davies and I live in Three Forks, MT. I was bit by the leather bug in 1998 and in 2000 started building saddles. The pic is my latest. I work part-time on a ranch/feedlot and part-time saddlemaker. My wife is an equine photographer and computer guru. (she pretty much has to help with these "new fangled computers") Anyway hope all had a great christmas and new year.

That is a Dandy,good job.Thanks for sharing

Very nice saddle. Quick question. Are the angled welts harder to put in than the welts coming straitht down the side of the fork? I haven't put any angled welts in yet and am just curious. I am certainlly learning a lot on this great site. Thanks.

I think they are about the same, maybe a bit tougher. The only difference is be sure to pull the leather up around the bottom of the swells tight.
