To show what a good blocking out can do to a saddle that hasn't been kept properly tensioned using the bolt, and has sagged quite a bit under the sit bones ... It was soaked in warm water, stuffed out with paper back to its old shape, and then dried out carefully. And after that, tensioned up using the bolt and chopped.
Thanks for the kind words^^^^, TomGold.
