Tha saddle is all done and ready to go. I won't share pictures until the new owner has had a chance to see it. I like for people to see it all put together before they see the pictures because pictures are never quite the right core and can flatten lines and such. Here's a teese though. Stay tuned!

We're getting there now! Lots of sewing left, dye background, block and line skirts, carve swells, but the end is at least in sight.

Measure, cut, re measure, add some paper, take some away. Look at the lines, re draw, re cut, re measure. Then put it in leather.

Well, that's kinda pretty. Let's try not to scratch it over the course of building the rest of the saddle!😄
