Here's some new work I just started doing, re-shaping the flat cantle plate of a B17 to make it curved, like a Team Pro or others have.
This is my B17 I've been riding a good amount for almost two years. It was soft and comfy to start then once worn in a bit, even with more tension added, it started to feel a bit like sitting on a very thick paper plate. Thought I'd try introducing a curve in to the catle plate, as well as soaking it and stuffing it to make it look like new. Its still got the stuffing in as it's not dry yet.

Am probably going to trim this one a little too (nose and tail), and re-stamp the stamped letter now I have a new solid shoe-last to get a really good clear stamp more easily.
