I only use top quality rawhide covered trees on my saddles. All saddle trees are strong enough for roping work, and come with an eight year warrantee. Since only custom hand crafted trees are used, you can modify measurements to suit your needs. Seat sizes from 12" to 18" are available. Many styles are available from Slick Fork to large undercut swells.

I use Caldwell/Moser, or Herman Oak, USA oak tanned skirting leather on all custom saddles. You can select 12-13 or 14-15 ounce weight to get the saddle to the desired weight (heavy or light).

Select golden bark tanned shearling is used to line the skirts--one piece per side, no piecing.

Saddles can be ordered in various shades from light oil to dark oil finish. Black is optional. I only use the finest quality pure Neatsfoot oil (and oil dyes if necessary) on my custom saddles. All saddles are oiled at least three times before final assembly.
