Well, I do. I've done it that way and it works.
However, since it's primarily for appearance sake, I doubt it makes much if any difference. I dunno, by the time you get done skiving, wetting, shaping, and drying those strips i can have half a dozen horseshoe 'rands' made and mounted. For me anyway...and YMMV...even though I think a case could be made that horseshoe shaped cutouts are structurally superior, it's just less bother.

Without "good" there is no "better," without "better," no "best."
And without the recognition that there is a hierarchy of excellence in all things, nothing rises above the level of mundane.

Re: Tackling the heel
:-) I'll try cut horse-shoes when I'm out of strips, thanks. can't see myself buying bags of off cuts to hunt for strips, would be an ironic false economy.
To each foot its own shoe.
