Cast Stirrups

With my Cast Stirrups, we melt aircraft-quality aluminum and cast each stirrup in a metal mould. I think this gives them better quality than sand casting. We hand sand with two grits of sand belts. The stirrups are then run through two different vibrating tubs for a slick finish before they are hand buffed to a high luster. Then they are accentuated with top and bottom wear leather.

There is, I think, a misconception about aluminum. It's really not that lightweight. My cast stirrups have good weight and balance to them. You can figure about one pound to one inch of stirrup. I even taper my 1" Oxbow and Flat-Bottom to make them kinda bottom-heavy for more balance.
