Got it. I've done that on a few cues but the trade off (when using my regular point geometry) is shorter points & a wider gap at the base of the points. Not sure that I want that. Besides, I can make the points only about 1/2" longer due to veneer sheet length.
Doesn't make a difference for me as I mostly do 8-pointers. When I do 4-pointers, it's two points at a time, then overlapped by the other two points so there is no gap.
