My good friend Anthony has been trying his hand at carving leather saddles. I asked him to customize one of mine with the only guidance being "some sort of tree." He was gracious enough to bless my La Raza with this result:
The B17 Brooks saddle originally started out looking like this:
He trimmed the edges with a utility knife, then carved the design with a linoleum cutter, finishing it off with some red leather stain.
I think it's gorgeous. I feel kinda bad that it's going to have to suffocate under my sweaty ass all summer.

SWEET! I hadn't heard this story. The pix are fun. Read your other blogs. New vinyl shop on Ch 4 news tonight. Get this; they are closing down their on line operation to have bricks and mortar.
