What arre re-cut points?

Instead of veneers glued to the points before whatever method used to install them, the main points are cut in the forearm, then additional points are cut inside the main one (recut). There would be no seam because each is individually "recut" into each other.
Hope this helps.

I believe that they are points with what appear to be veneers?
Like you cut the V groove and install your 'point' wood. Then lathe it down flush with your cue diameter. then you cut another V groove and install your next 'point' wood etc etc and the end result is multiple layers that look like veneers. It's different from regular points because the veneers are just thin pieces of wood glued to the 'point' wood and the whole thing is inserted into the V groove and lathed down.
Correct me if I'm wrong!

This should be listed in the main forum. That being said, recut points are just that...points that have been cut out so they look like a veneer and then another point material added after that. Ed Young does a great job of recut points. He doesn't like the line you can see at the tip of the veneers so he uses recut points to do away with that line.
Thanks, makes a little more sense to me. Repping you.
Ed Young's and Skip Weston's recut points are almost unbelievable! They are perfect and give the cue a super sharp appearance.
As for the line you can see at the tips of the veneers, it was Burton Spain who first came up with a very simple, yet ingenious idea to avoid that. He glued the veneers into an "L" shape form and added them to the points. This way there were pretty much to gap there with the gluing being perfect.
What needed Burton's great attention to detail though, was facing the whole L shape perfectly next to the point below - so that there was no gap or hole in between the point and the veneer when glued.
I like recuts and veneers as well - I just don't like recuts when there are three dozen of them in one point...
i believe a picture paints a thousand words,
