Members Goldshot Ron Posted October 23, 2017 Members Report Posted October 23, 2017 Saddle looks good. What are some of the specs.? Tree maker, type of leather, etc.. Are you entering this into the Pendleton Leather Show saddle contest? Quote
Members JHayek Posted October 23, 2017 Author Members Report Posted October 23, 2017 Sunny Felkins 58 wade tree herman oak leather. It's already at its new home so no I'm not entering it at Pendleton. Quote
Members Josh Ashman Posted October 23, 2017 Members Report Posted October 23, 2017 That's a very clean looking saddle. Great job! Quote
rktaylor Posted October 23, 2017 Report Posted October 23, 2017 Nice looking saddle. It looks really balanced. Thanks for sharing. Randy Quote
Members Rolandranch Posted October 23, 2017 Members Report Posted October 23, 2017 Very nice! Do you have any pics of the tooling on the horn cap? Quote
Members JHayek Posted October 23, 2017 Author Members Report Posted October 23, 2017 Thanks for the compliments. Here's the horn cap pic Quote
Members Rolandranch Posted October 23, 2017 Members Report Posted October 23, 2017 Thanks for the pic. Looks great! And that's a lot of stitching. What type of thread do you use and do you use the same thread for the cantel binding? Quote
Members JHayek Posted October 23, 2017 Author Members Report Posted October 23, 2017 I just use the same bonded thread that I use on my cobra 4 (277 @ 7 per inch) only I slick it with beeswax first and use 2 needles like sewing with linen thread. It gives a consistent look throughout matching the machine stitching and yes I use the same on the cantle. Quote
