Saddle Trees

The foundation of all saddles is, of course the tree. All of the saddles that we make at BETHEL SADDLERY are built on traditional wooden trees that are covered with rawhide for strength. This is an age old method of saddle tree making that has stood the test of time over centuries. Because each tree is made individually and does not rely on a mold it allows some flexibility in design and whilst we don't use synthetic molded trees in our saddles we know that lot of saddles maker do with excellent results. We have always been proud to say that our saddles are made with traditional methods and materials!

~ WARREN WRIGHT SADDLE TREES ~

I’ve been using Warren Wright trees almost exclusively in my western saddles for twenty five years. Warren has made over 5000 saddle trees since 1969. This has been done with no sophisticated duplicating equipment. The wood used for the majority of the tree is old growth fir from the west coast and the forks are laminated for strength. His rawhide work is exquisite and he uses a minimum number of nails and the fewest and neatest rawhide seams I have ever seen in all my years as a saddle maker. His Wade trees are something to behold and they are the first choice of some of the best custom saddle makers in the world.

 ~ ADDISON SANDY SADDLE TREES ~

All the hybrid or Western Stock Saddle trees that are used in our saddles are made by Addison Sandy from Gympie, Queensland. Addison has made a lot of saddle trees that have stood the test of time in one of the hardest environments there is - an Australian stock camp or mustering camp. Sandy trees are strong yet still light enough to ensure tat the saddle doesn't end up too heavy after it is made. Addison also makes our Buster Welsh Cutting trees.

Leather & Hardware

LEATHER

Hermann Oak skirting leather is always the mark of quality in a saddle.  Many tanneries have come and gone, but the one that has stood the test of time is the St. Louis, Missouri, USA tannery - Hermann Oak Leather (est. 1881). Their bark tanning process uses ingredients from sources around the world. The leather is pit tanned the old fashioned way which give the leather the body needed for saddles of the type we make. We have used leather from different tanneries over the years but in our opinion Hermann Oak skirting leather is the best that we have ever used.

 SHEEPSKINS

Sheepskins used in our saddles are all first grade bark tanned and our first choice of this product is Lazy M Shearling from Texas.  Consistency in the wool density sets the Lazy M saddle skins apart from the rest.

HARDWARE

All the hardware used in our saddles is stainless steel, bronze or brass. Our first choice is stainless steel, both for the beauty of the product but also the sheer strength that this hardware gives us.

STIRRUPS

We mostly use two types of stirrups in our saddles. Australian made polished alloy stirrups are the first choice for our Western Stock saddle.  For sheer quality and beauty Wilson’s Anchor S stirrups are unsurpassed and these stirrups will add value and compliment your Wade or other Western saddle.
