One bench, one maker, work that outlasts the buyer
The shop started as a repair bench in the back of a feed store, resoling stirrup leathers and restitching harness for ranchers who could not find anyone else to do it right. It moved into its own storefront eleven years ago and has kept the same one-bench pace since.
Nothing here is built to be replaced. A saddle tree is cut to hold its shape for thirty years of use, and the stitching is waxed linen thread set by hand, because a machine lockstitch fails all at once and a hand saddle-stitch fails one loop at a time.
It is still one maker and one apprentice on the bench, which is why the shop only takes a handful of commissions at a time.
