BondoBobCustomSaddles Report post Posted February 22, 2016 In simple terms, remove the horn cover, dampen till pliable and un-stitch the fork cover to uncover the base of the horn anchored in the fork. Then determine how to get it out, most likely 4 large screws and some glue and it will come out. Then you need to get the type you intend to use and insert it glue it screw it and recover it with rawhide, then a new horn wrap and fork cover back on and "vwala". That is the basics. What type of tree was original, what type of horn and was originally used, if you can get the same make of horn, and your level of ability may all be factors. Good luck. If it ain't a really good saddle, I would say the process would be cost prohibitive. Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oltoot Report post Posted February 22, 2016 What he said. Replacement horns are available from tree makers with the hard part of the rawhide work already done but unless the new horn can use the holes already in the fork from the old one, the resulting work could weaken the finished effort considerably. The saddle needs to be special to warrant the effort. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
