I probably shouldn't be posting this shortly after Pam Perkin's saddle, but here goes anyways.
I don't know why I never showed this before, but this is my first attempt at tooling leather. Right when I got out of school I started to make a western saddle, but only got as far as cutting out the pieces :(.
I figured that my first saddle would be horrible no matter what, so I might as well practice on it! I started tooling just to get an idea. I realized it is WAY harder than what it looks like. I got some good tips from Blab, but have never tried putting them to use.
As of right now, this is where it stands. I want to get a swivel exacto knife and start practicing again, but things have been so busy lately I haven't even thought about it.
Suggestions are always welcome!
