saddle number two!

Mon Jul 13, 2009, 10:16 PM
Well, I've got my second saddle in progress- the first one I'm doing 100% by myself! woot!- so hopefully I'll have something to show in another week or thereabouts. So far the fenders, horn, and front are finished, the skirts and seat are blocked, and I'm working on the cantle right now. And it is unpleasantly late but I need to wait for cement to dry so I can stick down the filler and be done for the night.

and that's all for the moment.

i want to do what you do! well... i doubt i could make a saddle without someone there with me to do it.. but the leather crafts etc.. yeah.. i envy you. seems rare to find someone who does this.
my dad used to.. used to make moccasins, jackets, and other things.

Don't worry about bitin' off more'n you can chew; your mouth is probably a whole lot bigger'n you think.

I have included you in the Artisans and Functional Art - July 2009 feature news article. Please :+fav: it if you like it because that can help make it so that more people will see this wonderful art made by you and the other artisans. :heart:

Nice work on that saddle! Your leatherwork is lovely too. Have a peek at my saddles if you find the time.
