From Old to Re-New
Antique Highback saddle - Before
Junesaddlebefore.jpg

This saddle ca: late 1890's or early 1900's (has a metal horn), was brought to PS Leatherworks to be restored and reconditioned.  Most of the leather on the saddle was in dry, but otherwise good shape, and the tree was intact.

Getting there

What this old saddle required was basic cleaning, so it was taken apart right down to the tree, the leather cleaned, reconditioned, some small patches (on the pommel and seat) and (hand) stitching done, and the 3/4 rigging was reinforced (with new skirting leather and screws)
It needed a couple of strings, and new latigos as well. 

After some clean up and repair

The owner didn't want a high shine on the saddle, so Tandy's Satin Shene was used as a finish to protect and to waterproof the leather.  This saddle, not used in 30 years is now being used to ride in again.
