Warren Wright has been making my trees for me since 1993. Most of the work I do is for working class folks who take a lot of pride in their equipment. A small percentage of my customer base are collectors of museum grade saddles. This work is often a collaboration with a silversmith. I make a number of pieces in this category that appear in the Traditional Cowboy Arts Association exhibit each year at the National Cowboy Museum (Oklahoma City).
The design and amount of ornamentation that can go into creating a custom saddle is only limited by the imagination and the checkbook, but here are the basics:
- The leather used on every one of my signature saddles is "A" grade Hermann Oak
- The base price includes mohair cinch, Keith Wilson stirrups, flat plate rigging, 3" wide doubled and stitched back cinch, slick fork, stainless steel hardware throughout, plain smooth or roughout.
- Currently 45% of my customers are repeat customers.
- There is approximately a four year wait
Bucking rolls: I've been making bucking rolls out of beaver tail leather since 1988. You will wear out several conventional pair made from cowhide while a single pair made from this rugged leather may last a lifetime. Each hand crafted pair is lined with canvas and stuffed with wool shorn from bark-tanned skins. Contact me for price and availability.
