Quick answers: the cinch does indeed work, very thin leather is used to cover the horn and pommel, and I use 1-2oz tooling calf or tooling sheepskin (which I just picked up recently). I highly recommend looking at real western saddles to see how they're put together! I think I have a blog post showing several shots of my real saddle. Caveat - it's a no-name saddle and not great, but it gives some good clues :)Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13391280733954230466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748868837021788172.post-90986671367476017912016-02-27T06:41:12.015-06:002016-02-27T06:41:12.015-06:00I just found your blog and love all your tack! I&#...I just found your blog and love all your tack! I've dabbled a bit into tack making but the only semi-successful pieces I've made are a Traditional halter and Classics bridle from RioRondo kits. I'm currently attempting a prototype for a western set to fit the Dungaree mold with some leftover RioRondo tooling leather. I was wondering how you do miniature saddle rigging. Do you really have a working cinch? Also how do you manage to cover that tiny horn and pommel properly? One last question-what leather do you use? Hope that wasn't too many-I've been enjoying looking through your blog archives and learning a lot. Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15900957893381801121noreply@blogger.com
