CSMA Winter Seminar Quick Draw Contest

We are going to have a Quick Draw Contest again this year. Basically you will have around an hour and a half to tool a project that can be raffled as a CSMA fund raiser. An example would be to tool a check book cover. After the raffle the winner can arrange for you to finish sewing in the lining or do what finishing up that needs to be done, or they can take it as is. Other projects that come to mind are spur straps, coasters, wallets, or just a square of tooled leather as a wall hanging. Use your imagination. The further the project is toward completion the better. Rules: Bring your own cased leather.

You can register at the door or pre-register by calling or emailing:

Shane Deeter 435-459-9617 shane@deetercustomsaddlery.com or Kay Orton 970-487-3279 csma-kay@hotmail.com Pre-registering helps us plan the event! DRIVING DIRECTIONS

CSMAs 20th Anniversary Saddle

The second CSMA saddle project commenced at 2011 Fall Seminar. A Wade tree was chosen for this project, it has round skirts and a combination of basket stamping and floral carving. Jesse Smith and Bob Klenda have served as the coaches. Members have continued to work on different parts of the saddle over the last four seminars and hope to finish the saddle at this seminar. We will sell raffle tickets on this one of a kind saddle, during the summer and draw the lucky winner at the 1213 Fall Seminar. Raffle tickets will be available beginning at Spring Seminar in April.
