Thanks Ben, I met you in Sheridan this past May, as you were critiquing the geometric stamped saddle that took 1st place. The saddle I ride is a 50-year-old Juan Lara hand-made saddle from Santa Ynez Valley California. Now that I'm nearing 67 years of age, my knees take a beating when I ride multiple days in a row. Thanks for your tips, I've only ever done your process to one other client's saddle in the recent past. So, I'll give it a go on my own saddle. Thanks Partner.
We had leather belt manufacturing workshops here in New Zealand once. And now everything is imported from China. . I have to tell you that as an artist, your work is really unique All the steps of the belt production, from cutting to finishing, were done by hand with the highest possible quality You are truly unique Greetings from NEW ZEALAND.
