16.5" Wade w/ inskirt rigging and exposed stirrup leathers

Here's my latest saddle I just finished.  Unfortunately every saddle I've posted has been roughout, but you've got to do what they order.  I do have some saddles coming up that will have some carving on them, so you'll have to check those out when I get them done.  This saddle is a little different than the rest with an inskirt rigging and stirrup leathers on the outside of the fenders.  This saddle has a 16.5" seat, 4.25" horn, 4.5" cantle, with the rigging placed just slightly ahead of 7/8.

Chinks/armitas

Here's a pair of chinks/armitas I made for Christmas.  They have a basket stamped belt with a fancy lace in the middle and fringe on top.  They are step-in's fit for a specific leg size.

 Here's a one ear headstall I made for my brother for Christmas with a nice little buckle I picked up in Dillon.          


Rough out for sale (Sold)

$3100
 I just finished a fully rough out saddle on a Keith Gertsch tree, best custom tree maker around.  It's a wade with a 16" seat, 4.5" by 12" cantle, 91.5 degree bars, and a 3.75" post horn.  The saddle has small round skirts making it light weight, a 15/16 flat plate rigging with the best quality American made Harwood rigging plates and back cinch dee's, twisted stirrup leathers, Trina Weber 5" monel stirrups, 4.5" back cinch also with Harwood buckles, and a small twisted lace across the front end.
