hh1302 Report post Posted November 23, 2015 Hi all. I have the Stohlman books and have studied sites online on saddle construction. I'm working on an old-time, halfseat saddle. All of the tutorials I find for covering horns have the top layer of the horn cover with the wings attached, but the antique saddles had/have a separate piece that covers the rear portion of the cover, with a small screw through it into the top layer of the actual horn cover. When doing this type of horn, can anyone refer me to where I could see how the parts are assembled beneath this piece, the order of construction, the patterns, etc? Thanks, Hugh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then make the neck cover with a piece that reaches the center of the horn, glue the top, drill a small hole for the screw and insert the screw, then cover the neck with the wings of the neck cover.

hh1302 Report post Posted November 27, 2015 Got it OT. Thanks so much. So there's no "filler" piece? Just the top and bottom covers of the horn? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
