101419101420 Not for me, for the horses. Finally getting around to putting some new pack saddles together, a few sawbucks and a couple of deckers. Going with brass arches and hardware

You have my attention. I'm dead on the water on mine 12 builds due to the fact that the local yahoos can't bring any 2 inch Sugar Pine in.

I have a book also. Feel free to contact me here at the Bat Cave.

Thanks Duke. This time I'm somewhat copying an old saddle I picked up. I'll post a pic of it tomorrow, an interesting old piece

Did you see my pack saddle build thread?

I haven't, I'll have to go look. It's been 30 years since I built any, I dont care for the ones for sale today, so I had Randy, at Timberline, make me some trees. I want the tree to fit as good as the saddle I'm riding, easier on my horses I think, Randy made them with rocker and a twist, just like any good riding saddle
