Members TomE Posted February 11, 2021 Members Report Posted February 11, 2021 Eye candy! The design of the tooling flows well. Makes our jumping saddles look like a sofa. Quote
Members battlemunky Posted February 11, 2021 Members Report Posted February 11, 2021 Beautiful work! Quote
Members spacedog Posted February 11, 2021 Members Report Posted February 11, 2021 This is really impressive. Amazing skills. Quote
Members JayEhl Posted February 11, 2021 Members Report 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
Members Ferryman Posted February 11, 2021 Members Report Posted February 11, 2021 Absolutely beautiful and amazing skill. Quote
Members kimk4341 Posted February 11, 2021 Members Report Posted February 11, 2021 (edited) ..... that is a beautiful piece of "artwork" ..... please let it be cinched down onto a good horse that works at the same level. Edited February 11, 2021 by kimk4341 I need to "proofread" !!! Quote

Members Goldshot Ron Posted February 18, 2021 Members Report 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
Contributing Member Samalan Posted February 18, 2021 Contributing Member Report Posted February 18, 2021 Shelly WOW what a beautiful saddle how long have you been making them I would love to know how to do that! but we don't have horses where I come from wow what a beautiful job congrats on that fine work !

Members SonshineLeather Posted February 20, 2021 Members Report 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. Quote
Members Try1234 Posted November 18, 2021 Members Report Posted November 18, 2021 Beautiful saddle! Quote
Members DrmCa Posted November 18, 2021 Members Report Posted November 18, 2021 I love how copper hardware and leather compliment each other. The carving is in very good taste as well. Quote
Members PurpleBronc Posted June 28, 2024 Members Report Posted June 28, 2024 I really like the square skirts and tooling patterns. Quote
