Quarter breed floral TM roper

Here's my latest saddle finished up a couple days ago.  I've been working on it through out this fall semester of my second year of vet school as time permitted.  This saddle is going to Ted Walker in Idaho.  Many thanks to Ted for his business.
It's a TM roper with a small post horn on a Bill Bean tree.  Quarter breed floral with an inskirt rigging set slightly ahead of 7/8.  16" seat, 4" x 12" round cantle with 1 1/4" cheyenne roll, and Trina Weber stirrups. Hope you enjoy this Christmas season and more especially remember the true meaning of it by making Christ the center of it.        

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.  

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.  

Price Change

Hey everyone...
My cost to get my trees ordered just got bumped up so I went through my price list and made a few adjustments.  If you have any questions feel free to call or message me.
Thanks

Rough out wade on Bill Bean tree

I did this saddle during my spring break.  It's taken me long time to get it posted and I only have one picture from my phone so it isn't great.  4" horn, 16" seat, 4" cantle.  It's just a good using wade with small round skirts and a flat plate rigging set just ahead of 7/8.  This one went to Idaho.  

Rough out wade with mother hubbard skirts

This saddle is on a Keith Gertsch tree.  I don't know all the specifics on the tree.  This is an order that came from my dad.  The seat did finish right around 16".  It's an all rough out with an inskirt rigging again set just ahead 7/8.  In case anyone is wondering why I place a good majority of the riggings ahead of 7/8, it's something that my dad started awhile back and we've found that the saddles just set a horse better placed ahead of 7/8 instead of right on 7/8.  The saddle also has mother hubbard skirts.  It's also rigged with 5" monels from Trina Weber.

TM roper with inskirt rigging and mother hubbard skirts

Here's a little TM roper saddle on a Bill Bean tree.  15.5" seat, #4 horn, 3.5" cantle, 12.5" swells.  It has an inskirt rigging set just slightly ahead of 7/8.  It has mother hubbard skirts which makes it nice and light weight for the lady that ordered it.  It also has 3" visalia stirrups made by Trina Weber.  This ought to make for a nice little using saddle.  This one is going back to Montana.
