rktaylor Report post Posted December 24, 2021 Finished this just in time. It'll be under the Christmas tree on Saturday. Timberline tree and chestnut HO leather. This is the most tooling I've ever done in a saddle, but it was for a good friend. I have so much left to learn, but I'm thankful for everyone willing to share their knowledge. Merry Christmas to all. Randy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rktaylor Report post Posted December 24, 2021 Thanks for all the compliments. I under estimated the time required for tooling by quite a bit. 1 hour ago, chuck123wapati said: you have one lucky friend indeed. As with most good friendships, the luckiest is a matter of perspective. Randy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rktaylor Report post Posted December 27, 2021 Thanks for all the compliments. Regan, I hope your staying warm up north. I need to make the trip to Sheridan, but it won't be this year. Ron, I'm getting there, just a little slow sometimes. Still a lot of room for improvement. Take care, Randy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
