Rolandranch Report post Posted November 2, 2020 Hello all! Finished saddle 3! It's a 14.5" Olin Young ranch roper. Can't thank Travis Kading enough for letting me do this build at his saddlery and for all the help he gave me along the way! Especially for showing me how to do those single piece swells.

Ken Nelson Report post Posted November 2, 2020 It is hard to imagine that is just your 3rd one. You have worked very hard to get to where you are at. My hat is off to you. Not many do that caliber of work by the 3rd one! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rdl123 Report post Posted November 2, 2020 Wow! That saddle is beautiful - Really like the clean lines and the combination of roughout vs tooled! Excellent work! Ron L Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cattledude Report post Posted November 2, 2020 Nice job! My 3rd didn't look that good... If you don't mind, who made the tree? It looks like a OY without leg cuts? Very clean lines and your tooling and pattern are really good. I see a style emerging...! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Goldshot Ron Report post Posted November 21, 2020 Good job Ryan. Your tooling looks real good, and the design of the saddle looks clean. How did you do the Roland Saddlery, and I'd like to see how you installed the flank cinch dee. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
