WC, that is some killer weave work. Can't wait to see the finished product.

I'll see that biscuit, and raise ya two dollops of home-churn butter.

Dang,home churned butter!!!!

Used to get when kin came to visit when i was a kid,big ole balls of it and giant watermelons from Oklahoma,uncle Mutt and aunt Lucille,boy i sure miss them. Soon as he finishes that saddle let's go steal it and ride to Oklahoma

How 'bout we just borrow it, ride to Oklahoma to break it in, and bring it back well looked after and with some watermelon and home-churn in the saddle bags.

You make them referigerated bags, right WC?

I think we could figure something out.

Maybe not a good idea. When the condenser kicks in, the hoss might spook and go to bucking!

JD Alan · July 28, 2009, 08:42:44 AM

I doubt if WC would want butter and watermelon seeds all over his new saddle

RollingThunder · July 28, 2009, 10:27:24 AM

Come to think of it, good point, parson!

That's why we would have to steal it.He would kill us,but we would die with big fat butter bellies and a smile on our face and he would get that purty saddle back.

Now that is really, really tasteful!

Gun Butcher · July 29, 2009, 08:07:39 PM

WC, if you keep this up I am going to have to quit my job and come out and apprentice myself to you. Do ya think 55 is to old to start an apprenticeship??
I am running out of words to use that will describe the work you are doing. I can definitely tell it is a labor of love.

Marshal Will Wingam · July 29, 2009, 09:58:00 PM

All I can say is the finished project will really be something. That's great, WC.

cowboywc · July 30, 2009, 03:18:06 AM

Howdy GB
I'm 53 and made my first one last year so I don't think it's too late.

JD Alan · July 30, 2009, 08:13:21 AM

Wow is all I can say WC, that looks incredible. I'm assuming that fender was not a "several days" project, considering how quickly you post these pictures. I'm aslo assuming pictures don't do it justice, and I will find out for sure next Wednesday. Looking forward to it. I promise not to "thump" anyone with my Bible either

Skeeter Lewis · July 30, 2009, 12:53:02 PM

It's coming on beautifully, Cowboy. To use Ace's adjective - awesome. Skeet.
