Members Outfitr Posted March 1, 2020 Members Report Posted March 1, 2020 Gorgeous saddle, well done! Any idea how many hours you have into it? Quote
Members Daffy Posted March 1, 2020 Members Report Posted March 1, 2020 To simply say you have talent is an understatement, Beautiful work!! Quote Keep your knives sharp and your powder dry.
Members blue duck Posted March 1, 2020 Members Report Posted March 1, 2020 Well done Ryan! Can't wait to see the next one. Thank you for sharing. Quote May God Smile on you today.
Members Goldshot Ron Posted March 1, 2020 Members Report Posted March 1, 2020 Well Ryan, if your saddle is No. 2, I would hate to compete against No. 1. For only your second saddle, it looks amazing. Your tooling looks well planned, and your swivel knife work is great. Tooling the back of the cantle is difficult at best, but you nailed it. I like how you stitched the flank cinch billet buckle holes; makes it look professional. The three judges are talented saddle makers, and you can trust what they said to be really good advice. Keep up the good work. Ron Quote
mikesc Posted March 1, 2020 Report Posted March 1, 2020 Btw Ryan..I forgot to mention, the photography on all of your work ( photos of your work previously posted here, and this time, of this saddle ) is also excellent. :) your post are like those of abhandmade..they always bring a smile to my face :) Quote "Don't you know that women are the only works of Art" ..

Members rdl123 Posted March 10, 2020 Members Report Posted March 10, 2020 Very impressive Ryan! Really like your tooling and the clean lines! Quality of this saddle definitely shows that we are in the 'Golden Age' of craftsmanship! Ron L Quote

ABHandmade Posted March 10, 2020 Report Posted March 10, 2020 (edited) Congratulations, Ryan! Beautiful work. It looks great. Unfortunately, I am not a specialist in horses and saddles, but I am sure that your saddle will last a long time and will please its owner! Edited March 10, 2020 by ABHandmade Quote
