TomE Report post Posted February 11, 2021 Eye candy! The design of the tooling flows well. Makes our jumping saddles look like a sofa. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JayEhl Report post Posted February 11, 2021 A dream of mine would be to go to work as an apprentice or at least a hangaround for a saddle and custom leather shop. And when I see these great works, I wished I was closer to retirement so I can find such shops to be that hangaround guy! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Goldshot Ron Report post Posted February 18, 2021 Shelly, Very attractive saddle. Questions: conchos from Mincer, do you order directly from them? Design and measurements for the breast collar in your upper photos, are you willing to share your pattern? One last question: from where do you order your W&C skirting? Thanks for any information you can offer. Keep up the good work. Ron Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SonshineLeather Report post Posted February 20, 2021 Beautiful Artistry ! Im making some braided wristbands (Mystery Braid) and see you also enjoy Braiding. What would you recommend for those Bracelets that are worn day in day out? Mine seem to just get dry instead of a natural sheen from useage. Take care and thank you.
