Harness and Saddlemaker
Home | Main Categories | Historic Buildings | Virginia | Store
The Harness and Saddlemaker's shop smelled wonderfully
like leather. They make the saddles by hand with 18th century tools.
Carefully working the leather and sewing the pieces together, they would make
most of the items that you would have had made from leather, besides shoes.
Check out the saddles, harnesses, and pouches that they have made here.
The craftsmen will gladly answer all your questions and describe how they make
each item. KAT'S VIEW The saddle maker of course makes saddles. They make
them out of heavy leather, not soft leather. There were flaps on the
saddle. They also had a holder for a sword there. It looked hard to
push the needle through.
