Two per week has failed!

Though I can't say I am especially surprised, two per week lasted exactly one week.  I did get one saddle per week done the other two weeks, though!  I am fortunate that a couple of my customers asked that their saddles be moved farther down the line, so nobody is waiting longer than expected (I hope!).

Anyway, here is a small preview pic of the last saddle of 2010!


It has more than 140 individually tooled and detailed longhorn conchos, those were a bear!  Right now I am in the last stages of construction, and it should be done tomorrow or Thursday.  Just in time, because we leave on Friday to have Christmas with Ben's family!  Then on Monday I fly to America for my visit!  It will probably be quiet around these parts for my trip, though I do hope to update at least once.  I still have another post coming with finished photos of this parade set, though, when it's done!

  1. I think you've done amazingly well, Erin and each of them has been absolutely gorgeous. I LOVE mine and always look forward to seeing what visual feast you'll create next.

  3. Hi,

    Your work is amazing! I was just wondering if there was some kind of stamp or brand for the detail on the leather? or is it hand carved?

  4. Hello Anon! It is all hand carved, except if there is a basketweave pattern - that would be stamped. Thanks for the compliment!
