Looks like that would last a lifetime mate, what's the leather oak bark?, and what do you use to heat your saddle creaser?

Thanks mate, yes its Greasy Oakbark stirrup type leather. Its not dyed any colour but coloured by all the grease and oils that they rub in. Its thick but very supple.

Sorry I meant to say, can you seen that little methylated spirit lamp in the back ground? Thats what I heat the crease with.

I've seen them heaters on Etsy, used wing dividers to mark the lines in the past, but want to try the saddlers crease when I get back to making some belts, still got that oak bark russet, and some nice English made buckles

Yeah get a crease mate, they are easy to use with a bit of practice. Got some nice buckles there. Ive used the stirrup ones but not the other ones, they look old, what are they?

They're based on the old firemans quick release firehose buckles, Abbey are making them

Really enjoyed that thanks. I saw Clarrisa at the Waterloo cup and spoke to her, she was very nice. That high tensile stirrup leather is the Greasy Oak bark I think. You cant get better for collars and belts. Its not dyed at all.

I like the look of their undyed bridle with all the natural markings, looking forward to making some belts with it
