Torador once again.

Hi Richard.

If you go to my Thread from January 14, and look at photo #6 and #12, you will see the so called re-enforcement saddles under two of the barrel bands on my Torador. But I believe the primary use for these was to help support the METAL bands. The reinforcing bands would not be necessary if you are using leather bindings. You could also simply use a thin piece of DRY flat leather on top of the barrel portion before wrapping the DAMP leather lacing (?). Just a thought.
