Last two saddles finished.

Here's a rough out wade made for a guy in Montana.  It's built on a Bill Bean tree, 91.5* bars,  16" seat, 4" x 12" cantle, small round skirts with a flat plate rigging set just ahead of 7/8.  It has a post horn with a 3 1/4" cap by 3 1/8" tall.  The small round skirts make it light weight and a great everyday using saddle.  You'll have to excuse the messy shop.  

 Here's the most recent saddle I just finished.  1/4 breed basket stamp.  Built on a Bill Bean tree.  It has an inskirt rigging set a little ahead of 7/8 with small round skirts.  91.5* bars, 16" seat, 4"x12" cantle, 4"x 3" horn.  I also wanted to mention something about the 91.5* bars that my dad and I use a lot on our saddles.  If you are someone that rides one horse or horses of very similar build you would be safe ordering a 90* or 93* bar tree depending on the horse's back.  But if you are a cowboy that is always riding something different like a lot of the cowboys up in this area, you should try these 91.5* bar saddles.  We have sure had great luck with this bar measurement with the cowboys that are riding a lot of different horses.
