the making of a saddle/Fabrication d'une selle

 

I use only the best marterial imported from USA ,rawhide covered saddletrees,oak tanned leather ,nettles wood stirrups, premium latigo leather ,nylon tread,and the best shearling.

I spend aprox. 3 weeks on a saddle,cutting,stitching,stamping and finishing it with pure neatsfoot oil and special waxes .
