Very, very nice! I'm not a fan of BEM nor cocobolo, but this one is a Beauty. The veneers are really sexy!

Hi Roger,

9 Pointers? Are you sure it is not 3 high and 3 low pointers?

Sw calls this design 9pt or "point within point". Rare,attractive and unusual IMO.

So, it is three high and three low points, with recut maple points into ebony with maple veneers ... is that what you are saying? I just want to make sure. Thank you.

Typical South Wests are 6 points, 3 high points and 3 low points. Their "9 point" cue is a recut point in each of the long point. Very rare as it is not done often, but I've seen several.

I don't personally agree with SW's designation, but yes...according to them, it's a 9-pointer.

-Roger (which would make recut cues with 4 veneers 20-pointers)

Was it Bender who started calling his cues with recut points this way?

It is quite commonly understood what a Southwest 9 pointers is. I think it is fine the way you described it. Nice cue by the way.

I see you have two Skip Weston cues. I am not familiar with Skip Weston's work. Doesn't Skip use recut points on his cues?

Good luck with the sales.
