I love seeing where people are from that find me & glad I get to be on your leathercraft journey.

hi from New Zealand, I'm a saddler most my time doing English work. Now I'm starting my journey into the artisan side of leather work as I'm increasingly doing more western work. I will be manufacturing myself a reining saddle so I wanted to learn carving before I get started on the saddle

Disabled vet, leatherworking is something I started during surgical recovery. Been loving your TEACHING style. I taught a lot of things over two careers. Love the tips and tricks you share.

Endlessly fascinated by leather tooling and decided to take the plunge, buy a small kit, some leather and have a crack at it myself. Watching this tooling come alive is mesmerising. I especially love watching videos where people use the swivel knife and I'm keen to have a go at it soon. I'm in Australia.

Very nice work and instructions on how and why. Thanks from Pass Christian, MS

My first western saddle was a very old Circle Y with oak leaf and acorn pattern. I learned to ride in that saddle on my first horse. Lots of fond memories there! I love the update to the pattern; it's a very clean, modern look, while still being traditional enough to recognize. Maybe if I get good enough, I'll adapt this pattern for a new western saddle. It's beautiful, well done.
