When you say "reverse points", do you mean, light colored points spliced into a dark forearm? I don't know who started them, but I do like them. I have a Mike Stacey, curly into ebony, with a birdseye butt sleeve. Burton Spain used to make this type of blank for Gordon Hart (Viking).

I believe he is referring to points in the buttsleeve that point in opposite to which is in the forearm.

Such as this:

I wouldn't doubt it if the trend were started by Bill Stroud years and years ago... I have seen him using this design for centuries...

Yeah, those are cool too.

I am thinking Gutierrez, but maybe I just heard that, not sure.

I've always thought of a reverse pointed cue being, as an example, an ebony buttsleeve and an ebony forearm with maple points. I could be wrong.

I think the picture is the reverse points the original poster is asking about. Any points in the sleeve pointing towards the butt plate, regardless of light color into dark, dark into light, etc.

I'm talking about the nose of the cue( forearm )> like when you have ebony going into maple, after the joint, it starts off solid ebony and has points going towards the wrap and maple points vise a verser going towards the joint.I see real old cues have it and I was wondering who started it,

Sorry, my mistake.

Could it be re-cut points? Therew is a Kornele in the for-sale section with re-cut. They are hot. Like paris.

I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE, BUT I WOULD GUESS BURTON SPAIN. HE BUILT THOSE BLANKS FOR MANY YEARS IN THE EARLY DAYS OF CUE MAKING AND SOLD THEM TO ALOT OF CUE BUILDERS. JUST AN EDUCATED GUESS THOUGH.

I would think that Marcus is right here.....Spain. In the 60's he supplied these style of prongs to Paradise, Palmer, Hart (Viking), Petersen, and probably some others. I could be wrong, but I don't think anyone was doing them prior to the mid-60s. Maybe Joel Hercek could shed some light on this.

The points were made the same as ebony points set into a maple forearm, but the maple points are set into an ebony forearm. Depending on where and how the wrap groove is cut to, it could give the illusion of "ebony points coming back toward the wrap". That really is not the case, though, it's just an ebony forearm with veneered maple points.

I think that's probably where the "reverse" terminology came from.
