On the bench today is a gorgeous Formfitter with a wood post horn in the wood & ready for rawhide.

We take great pride in our tree quality and are working hard to get your orders out as soon as we can. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Today modern technology gives us an accurate geometrical foundation, but true craftsmanship can’t be automated.

While we use CNC machines to cut our bars with mirror-like duplication, it still takes years of shop floor experience to hand-shape and craft every contour. A machine can never replace the human eye, which is why every single bar is still hand-shaped, finished, and brought to life using techniques passed down through generations.

That generational experience combined with our CNC machines is why we can produce a high quality production tree in 6 to 9 weeks. Always

If you’re looking to build your first saddle or want to practice on a new style of tree you’ve never built on, take a look at our AS-IS Sale list. Some of the lower priced items are discounted because the quality didn’t meet our standards and are priced to sell. The other higher priced items are nearly perfect and just might be what you’re looking for.

Give us a call at (915) 877-3191 if you would like more information on any of the trees listed.

From out the shop where sawdust flies, A Hope tree is born ‘neath Texas skies. Trimmed and true, a sight to see, the finest kind of specialty tree. Farewell to this Hope, what a prize, Bound for the hills where the Rockies arise.

First, we have page 2, highlighting some kind words from Mr. Bowden himself. These values continue to guide us, serving as a reminder that quality service never goes out of style and that a well-built foundation is the heart of every great saddle.

Swipe to see page 11, which features our most popular tree styles from the mid-to-late '70s. We are proud to say we still build these same fork designs today, 49 years later, with the same dedication.
