Last saddle of the summer.

Here's a youth saddle that I made for a lady in Utah about this time last summer.  I got a call from her this April saying that the saddle was stolen while she had her trailer in getting it cleaned up after the winter months.  She never did recover the saddle and asked if there was any way I could make her another one just the same.  Fortunately I did have the time this summer to build her another one.
She did give me permission however to make some minor changes if I felt inclined to do so.  So here is this year's version of the same saddle.  It's on a Bill Bean tree.  TM roper swells at 11.5", 13" seat, 3.5" X 11" cantle, and a #6 horn.  The original had a #4 horn but I felt a #6 would look better on such a small saddle.  I also changed up my floral patterns a bit.  The stirrups are a youth sized 2.5" visalia made by Trina Weber and the saddle has 6 1.5" conchos and two fork screws made by Rob Shaezlein.  











Here's a couple belts I've made in the last little while.

I don't make a lot of belts but I do find myself making a few here and there.  Here are some pictures of the last two I've made here recently.  If you're interested in a belt, let me know and I'll give you a quote.  I'll get my price list updated here shortly but are the prices I'm planning on charging.
Fully flowered, no stitch line, no lining: $185
Fully flowered, with stitch line and lining: $200
Full basket or crazy stamp, no stitch, no lining: $125
Full basket or crazy stamp, with stitch and lining: $140


I've also gotten a bunch of orders for a one side doctoring bag here in Montana so I'll going to go ahead and try and keep a couple on hand if you're interested in ordering one.  I'm charging $100 for a plain smooth out or rough out bag.  It comes with two divisions.  You can fit a 500 mL bottle of LA in one side, some syringes and chalk in the middle and another good sized bottle in the other side.


I also have made a few small wallets.  You'll just have to call me and I'll give you a quote based on what you want done but here's one that I did recently.
