what does it mean to core? i understand the general ideology of coring, but i am curious as to how it would be applied to a cue?

It is exactly as it implies. Generally speaking, when a cuemaker cores a forearm (or any other part of the cue) they usually bore the forearm out and insert a 3/4" (or other size) maple dowel all the way through it, therefore coring the forearm.

Sorry I don't have any pics of my own, but these pics from some ebay auctions will show you.......

Here is a forearm and butt section that is NOT cored......

And here is a forearm that has been cored with a 3/4" maple dowel.....
