A great saddle is a collaborative effort. It goes thru a series
of interpreters: The Rider who explains what he wants the saddle to do> the Saddlemaker who listens and says to the Treemaker,
"if I had a tree like this.... I can make what he wants", the Treemaker then listens & interprets to blend the right SHAPE
for the horse.... the Rider.... and gives the Saddlemaker the right foundation to make their Dreams a reality. You are
buying "THE SHAPE OF DREAMS", that's all.
SHAPE IS EVERYTHING IN A SADDLETREE. WITHOUT A GREAT TREE YOU CAN'T BUILD
A GREAT SADDLE. Len Brown
PS> I'm proud of the work Derek Brown and Dave Walkley did
on The Shooter Tree below. Dave was the interpreter for this job. It's an outstanding tree to build a GREAT SADDLE on.

26 YEARS. THESE TYPE TREES ARE HARDER TO BUILD. SLOW IN DUPLICATING AND REQUIRE THICKER WOOD FOR THE EXTREME CURVES IN THESE
