thenrie Report post Posted November 9, 2012 I have been looking for ideas for an old saddle rebuild. I like the look of square skirts. As I have looked around the forum, I get the impression they are also known as "pointed" skirts. I suppose that indicates that square skirts aren't really cut square. What are the "rules of thumb" for cutting square skirts, as far as angles and lines? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Josh Ashman Report post Posted November 13, 2012 My two cents on this is that when somebody talks about "square" skirts they generally mean any type of rectangular shaped skirt even if the corners themselves are rounded while "pointed" skirts are square skirts that go to an actual point or corner. I'm not sure this does you much good for help on cutting pointed skirts. I'd leave them as oversized as possible then cut the exact shape once you have them blocked on the tree. Some of the really cool looking pointed skirts you see have quite a bit of "flare" in them. I guess it all comes down to what you like.
