...yeah, you guessed it. Justin Morgan had his plastic surgery last Saturday...
...BUT, for some reason, my uploader is telling me "server rejected", even on downsized images...
These pictures will go on my Photobucket, then onto Fallen Leaves..
Sorry about that!

I love your tack! You, along with Jennifer Buxton, are my inspiration! I do have a question about skiver, though. I got a Rio Rondo Western saddle kit last year (yes, I'm a procrastinator!), and the skiver I dyed a dark brown turned a purply-brown color right after I dyed it. It looked horrible. I used dye bought from Rio Rondo. I plan to redo it once I get some more skiver for starting English saddles, but I would like to know if you have had any problems like this or if you have any ideas about what went wrong. I tried to contact Rio Rondo, but my computer started throwing a fit and wouldn't allow me to e-mail them from their link. Thanks!

Weird! I've never had that problem before, but I think I know what might have gone wrong - sometimes, with the skiver, if you use too much dye it will turn the skiver a darker color than you originally wanted - also, sometimes if you get the light to reflect off of the skiver it can make the color look odd...
Try using less dye this time and LMK how it works!
Jennifer Buxton has been my BIGGEST inspiration EVER! I've been seriously pursuing tackmaking over the last few months, and I'm so glad that I inspire you! Tackmaking is fun, so keep at it! All of us have problems like your dye issue all the time.
I'll try that! I just e-mailed someone on MH$P about some skiver, so hopefully I'll hear back soon.
I've been seriously pursuing tackmaking these past few months, too. I recently bought a book on how to make an English saddle, so hopefully I'll be able to combine your tutorials and the book's instructions. I hope it works. I've been able to make some bridles with tongue buckles and punched holes (yay!), so I hope I'll be off to a good start in leather working. Thanks for your help! I continually read your blog, so please keep up the awesome posting!
