Steele Saddle Trees

Our quality hand-crafted saddle trees are made by Steele Saddle Tree, LLC in Tennessee using Southern Yellow Pine and laminated with quality plywoods. Self-designed and engineered lathes at Steele produce your tree parts from the same patterns for years to come, insuring consistency even decades into the future. All tree parts are then hand-trimmed, sanded and assembled to specifications in jigs, resulting in every tree being square, level and symmetrical.

All trees are assembled with industrial adhesives and fastened with multiple 2” staples on all joints. Trees are once again sanded to insure contours are smooth flowing before being covered in hand-laid 6 oz. fiberglass cloth.

American Leather

For our American made saddles, we use what we believe to be the best leather available in the United States for our saddles: skirting leather from American Leather Direct.

Our skirting leathers are 100% vegetable tanned using an artisanal process that takes nearly four weeks. After the tanning process is complete, the leather is drum dyed. The tanning process produces firm leather that is good for tooling, carving, stamping, embossing, oiling, and dyeing.This full grain leather will produce high quality finished goods with strength. Products made with our signature skirting will develop a beautiful patina over time.
