Saddle Tree Update


The tin foil was trimmed so that the saddle tree could fit in my toaster oven.


Fresh out of the oven, the darn saddle tree fell apart exactly where I was afraid they would. There it lay in four pieces after I removed it from the tin foil. While still hot, I managed to piece it back together again with more clay and fired up the toaster oven again.


This morning, I placed it on top of the horse, and it fits perfectly. It's very very solid. I am thinking I want to re-do a portion of the saddle tree fork. I should also check and make sure that the ape soldier still sits comfortably in the saddle tree.
Still unsure about the spacing of the saddle bars, but the saddle tree does not budge at all when placed on the horse.
