Art Hugenberger, a Santa Ynez Valley resident who is considered by many to be one of the greatest saddle makers of all time. Hugenberger was once an assistant to Montie Montana, famous for roping President Eisenhower during his inaugural parade, among other things. Hugenberger grew up with a passion for becoming a cowboy, and followed his dreams the best he could through the depression and the war. He developed his saddle making skills at Ed Gilmore Saddlery in North Hollywood, California, then moved to Santa Barbara to work for Jedlicka’s Saddlery in the mid 1950s. In 1964, after marrying his beloved wife Matilda, Art moved to Solvang and set up shop in his garage. As you gaze upon the beautiful craftsmanship of an Art Hugenberger saddle, contemplate the twenty-five plus hours that it took to create those beautiful pieces. And how wonderful it is to have a gift such as his, to craft saddles for people like President Ronald Reagan and his family, Audie Murphy, Joel McCrea and Dale Robinson.
CARVING : F.O. BAIRD

F O Baird learned leather carving as a boy, watching saddle makers ply their craft. He then apprenticed for a master craftsman who was so impressed by the young Baird that upon his death he left him his tools. Baird gained experience while traveling in Mexico and working for SD Myres in El Paso. Settled in Los Angeles in 1930 where he became a renowned teacher, author, artist, and master craftsman producing leather carvings for a diversified clientele.

LEATHER S.H. FRANK TANNERY {TANBARK, FROM OAK TREES]
The S.H. Frank Co. (Frank\'s Tannery) was a large tannery (largest on the West Coast) in my hometown of Redwood City.. It was started in 1872 along Redwood Creek and had it\'s own wharf for sailing ships and barges to bring the hides down from San Francisco and South San Francisco. Also some of the Oak tree bark was brought down from Humboldt and Mendocino Counties on ships. It is assumed the finished leather products went out by ship or barge also.
The 125 or so employees turned out over 4 tons of leather goods a day with another unit of measure being \"over 3,000 sides a day\" . The local railroad (Southern Pacific) (due to it\'s high rates??) does not appear to be used for the import of raw materials or the export of the above mentioned finished products. I am assuming this based on what I saw growing up in the area -the \"Redwood Harbor Lead\" was almost right behind the plant but no spur was ever built. For reference the spur could have gone through/near the present \"Granite Rock \" property from Seaport Blvd.. There are newspaper articles talking about the high rates the Southern Pacific charged back in the 19th century. So for whatever reason there was no \"railroad\" to the tannery.
The tannery did however have it\'s own \"railroad\". See photo 1. A \"train\" is shown leaving the receiving warehouse with a load of oak tree bark and heading toward the tannery proper in 1958. The bark is soaked in water \"tannic\" acid is produced with the hides soaked in this acid. Complete with a bell in the front this little \"engine\" appears to use gasoline for power. It appears to me to be a 1920-30\'s model. The railroad car looks sturdy and well used. In that the tannery was started in the \"Steam\" era (1872) -it had a 100 horsepower steam plant to power the \"flat belt\" machines it is possible the \"railroad\" was powered by steam in the beginning. The \"railroad\" car gives me the impression of being a lot older than the \"engine\".
The tannery was huge -being about a 1/2 mile long and it is easy to \"see\" the railroad tracks going every where the heavy raw materials (hides and tree bark ) had to be transported from one building to another.
