    Been away travelling but back on the job. In final stages just waiting for the hair. I ended up making the saddle as the supplier is very time poor. Daughter is sewing edges on the saddle cloth then the tack can be finished apart from the crupper strap.

    I find at this stage I am asking myself if I could have done some things a bit better.

    That tail is borrowed from the doll size supplies.

    Just need to wax the rocker.

    Ended upmaking the leather work myself. Paid someone to sew the edges on the saddle cloth.

    Hair is cow tail. Had a longer piece for the mane but hadn't been tanned properly & hair was falling out.

    Thanks Chris this was my first major restoration & just made it up as I went along, although I get some great advice from other restorers.

    With the leather work I was fortunate to be shown how to do that by Bill Webb who is one of the best. https://billwebb.com.au/

    Bill saw that I was using imported English stuff & invited me to his place for a day of instruction.
