Recut points?

I was looking at the following recent ad for a Tascarella, which says it has recut points:

Gorgeous Pete Tascarella Custom cue with 2 shafts

This beautiful Tascarella cue is made of rosewood & bem woods. The cue has 4 recuts rosewood points with flame and diamond pearl inlays in the forearm and butt sleeve. Joint is stainless 5/16x14 piloted compression. Black leather lizard wrap. Butt weight 15.15oz. Shaft #1 weight 4.0oz &...

It was my understanding that recut points are a technique for creating veneers, which does not leave a miter line in the veneers. Yet, in the pictures of that cue I can clearly see a miter line in the blond veneer. I can't see miter lines in the other veneers. Do cuemakers make veneers where some are mitered and others are recut?

There's three ways of doing short splice points, recut, mitered, wrap around..

There is a possibility that the blonde is a veneer and the other colors are recut. The blonde is not a recut, and doesn't appear to be mitered.
 
On the Cue posted. He is clearly selling the Cue based on who made it as opposed to the actual work that went in to it.
Some people just don't know how to take pictures.
2nd biggest rule in retail.
If you can't display it properly, it's harder to sell it.
