@Sting Saddlery it is a piece of Art, not just a saddle, so a price for Art had no limits some times. Hope one day I will be ready to buy such saddle! Thanks!
Thanks for commenting. To answer your question I use Ritza Tiger Thread size 0.8mm from Weaver Leather. It’s a 100% polyester, finely-braided thread and it’s lightly waxed. It’s the strong and my favorite thread to hand stitch with. With that thread I use two gauge 19, 2.25” egg eye harness needles by C.S. Osborne. Both of these products I carry in my shop for resale.
Love the video and What kind of Camera are you using.. VERY CLEAR close ups.. Good job to the camera person :) a few questions if I may please. why type of hide and weight did you use for the cantle and seat? looks like a 3-4oz calf ?
Thank You! My wife does all the filming with an IPhone 11. Leather used is 10 oz that is skived down to a taper so it folds around and into the stitching groove perfectly. The excess is around 3-4oz
Well I always find that it’s better to have to much excess than not enough. And the only waste you really have, is all belly, so you really aren’t wasting leather that’s usable for anything else.
I have always found that it is better to have to much excess than not enough. The last thing you want is to start putting on your binding and realize you didn’t make it big enough. The only leather that you waste is all belly and you can’t use it for anything else. So you might as well use it for excess.
Great video, another clean cantle, thanks for sharing.
Thank you. Glad you like it.
I like the saddle you’re working on in this video!
Serious young master!!!
Yep! $5000.00 is middle of the road for a custom base price saddle.

Looks great. What weight leather do you use for the cantle binding?
If you started in the middle you would not run out of thread and your thread will not looks nasty when you get to the end!

Is that a waxed or unwaxed thread?
What’s the purpose of all the extra leather on the backside of your kennel seems like a waste
