Interview with saddlemakers David Cauley and J.D. Cauley

Date: 1985-03-06
Description: One audio cassette. David Cauley served as an apprentice under his uncle J.D. in 1984-1985. The interview took place at J.D.'s Feed and Saddle Store. They discuss saddle making (the process, tools, and learning the craft); leather work tools; types of saddles; ranching; saddle trees and other equipment; and the effect of factory-made saddles upon the craft. For a transcript of the interview, see S 1640, box 1, folder 7. For a 1983 interview with J.D., see S 1577, box 11, tape C83-113. The Folk Arts Apprenticeship Program began in 1983 with a NEA grant of $22,000. The program provided an opportunity for master folk artists to share technical skills and cultural knowledge with apprentices in order to keep the tradition alive. Apprentices must have had some experience in the tradition and agreed to train for at least six months. The first project director was Blanton Owen, later replaced by folklorist Peter Roller. The program was continued each year through 2003.
