You couls also see if you could discuss your questions with both Wouter Nicolay and Martin Becker, who both did quite some research on the saddle design recently. Wouters newest saddle proves to have a very interesting approach used.

Sorry Jurjen, just found this.

There was quite a bit of email correspondence between us about this idea and I thought we were working towards a reconstruction. Sadly Wouter then decided he wanted to make the tree out of carbon fibre, which rather defeats the object in my book! (My version of a trooper helmet!!) I wouldn't choose to have a carbon fibre shield or bow, or a sword made of anything other than metal, as I want to know HOW the saddle works not just sit on a horse!

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!
