Thank you,
Jayman.
Most of the Adam cues were non wood seamless veneers instead of re-cuts.jayman said:I got very curious about when i bought an Adam cue made in the 70's with re-cut points. its the first time I've seen them on an early Adam cue.
Jayman.
I don't think Mike was making cues prior to the '80s, so I would rule him out as one of the first.qbilder said:I think Bender made it popular, though I suspect it was done before his time.

I suspect you'r thinking of Vikings wico style points.
The green viking has saemless non-wood points.
The four veneer Adam Jim Rempe cue has typical Adam point construction.
The Adam A/H 35 has an unusual re-cut style. this is one the one I started the thread about.

No, I was refering to the Adam cues that used the seemless plastic veneers. They may have been bought from Meucci when he was at Wico also. I keep thinking Bob told me he sold some to Helmstetter, but don't hold me to that. Bob was making those blanks before Viking. He let Viking have it when he lost interest.jayman said:Most Adam points are 90 degree seamed veneers.
