John,
Regarding flexibility, what sort of wood are the present saddle trees made of?
People these days often forget that different woods have different properties and whilst I am sure you are not one of them, is there any guarantee that whoever makes the saddle trees understands the differing properties of, say, ash and birch, or the advantages of making different parts of the same item out of different woods to reflect the different functions of those parts?
