Pocket close-out. How many cuts?

[GregoryGrc]

I have no problems with closing out corner pockets since they are basically a 1/4 of a circle. The side pockets however are nearly 1/2 a circle and I was wondering how many cuts you guys make to close them out? Just putting it out there.

If this has been discussed previously let me know as I don't want to belabor this subject.

Thanks!

I'm no expert, but just finished clothing my first table and am happy with the result. we lined the edge of the pocket, and I think had 8-10 wedges in the corners.

For some reason, the cloth manufacturers provide very skimpy instructions as to how to do this. The best instruction set that I found for doing the pockets was the instruction book for assembling Mizerak pool tables, which I found online.
