Same here, I've reshaped a couple of badly deformed saddles that way. Restored them to service if not "like-new" condition. Wrapped with an Ace bandage and stuffed in rags to help the shape. One was a Brooks B17N that had clearly been left out in the rain a long time, and it's quite comfortable, though it's starting to splay out again somewhat. I may just have to wok on it again.
