<< Before buying a saddle with a wood tree, assure yourself that the saddle
maker knows how to pick a piece of wood. One with just the right amount
of rigidity and just the right amount of flexibbility...in the right
directions. After all, the purpose of having a tree in a saddle is to
provide some rigidity. >>

Aha, that's very interesting. Then could it be that the higher frequency of
broken trees in saddles with solid wood trees (from saddle lore, I have no
personal experience) may be attributable more to a poor choice of wood than
to the fact that the wood is from a solid piece and not laminated?

Thanks for your insight.
