A Once (or in this case, Twice) in a Lifetime Brass Cantle Project!

[artificer]

Thanks lads!

Both the commissioner and I were somewhat reticent to post pix due to the relatively sensitive nature of the fur, but, once again, the rabble has some out as a class-act.

I can't even begin to explain how giddy-excited/terrified I was to cut into this pelt. I did mean to note that we ended up modelling the cantle on that of the current "Mackintosh".



which is a very old style with a wide-spread and somewhat shallow arc to the cantle, rather than the more commonly seen 'half-circle' arc that the MoD "Culloden" cantle reproduces.
