Hide & Horn Sampler: Dusty Smith & The Art of Saddle Tree Production

Though building saddles for over ten years, since 2015 Dusty Smith has been building custom saddle trees from his home shop in Buffalo, W. As one of the few individual tree makers in the world building for the public in large numbers, Dusty’s keen attention to detail in every tree built is an art form all in itself. In this episode of the Hide and Horn Sampler, Dusty Smith describes his early work in building saddle trees, and balancing artistry with production.
