Bridged Veneers.....who was the first?

[Ken_4fun]

I really like bridged veneers and they seemed to appear within the last 10 years. Who was the first to do them?

Tim Scruggs maybe?

Tim Scruggs maybe?

Whomever did it, they should get credit.

Might be a good question for the cuemakers forum.

I have a Scruggs Cue from 96 with bridged veneers.

I have a Scruggs Cue from 96 with bridged veneers.

I don't know if he was first, but - IIRC - Tim was doing them by 1990 or so.

First one I remember was a scruggs, but wouldn't surprise me if someone was doing them 50 years ago.

Dumb But Serious Question

I'm sorry to ask but what are bridged veneers as opposed to regular veneers?

Pictures might be helpful to me to understand, I'm kind of slow sometimes.

Thanks

I googled the term and checked ask.com but it really didn't help!

I would think Scruggs in late '80s to '90ish...

Great question!

whats the difference between bridged points vs bridged veneers?

Tim Scruggs maybe?

Told me himself. They were cut in like the veneers. They cost $200 extra on 4 points. Adding 2 points with veneers also cost $200!
There was more work to what they did than you would think. They just didn't glue a veneer in a tiny hole.
