Don Report post Posted September 27, 2007 Here are a couple saddles that I built for a husband and wife. The roper is built on a low TM tree and the other saddle is built on a Buster Welch with leg cuts and a 4.5" cantle. There was a lot of Dye time in the floral tooled saddle.

Cowboy Crafts Online Report post Posted September 27, 2007 Don, Nice work on those saddles. I saw your little spot on all around perfomance horse. Got me thinking of when I use to live down in Wheelock TX. If I ever go back down and visit Ill have to stop by your shop. ashley Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spencer G Report post Posted September 27, 2007 Very nice! If I had to venture a guess, I would say the the much nicer looking (not at all belittleing the other one) floral carved one is the wife's. At least it would be if the guy is smart! Spencer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D.A. Kabatoff Report post Posted September 27, 2007 Hi Don, that is some really nice clean work you did. Your floral carving is beautiful and really stands out, but my eye tends to wander to all those little areas like ear cuts and fork covers, etc... that show the maker's talent. Good job! Wish more people would post photos of saddles they are making. Darc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shirleyz Report post Posted October 1, 2007 Beautiful work! I love to see floral done well. It's my favorite to do, not wanted on bike seats too much. Shirley Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gtwister09 Report post Posted December 22, 2007 Don, Really like the look of the butterfly on the floral carved It caught my attention as well but for another reason. I was just looking at the TCAA site and looking at Cary's saddle that had butterflies on it as well. I have to agree with Darc about the ears cuts, fork covers, rolls and such. In fact I just watched Harwood's DVD and he made similar comments as well. It is a great addition to the saddle to give it just a little something extra to set it apart. They should both be quite happy with results. What little I could see of the geometric/floral pattern it looked fairly nice. Regards, Ben Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
