what is a bridged venneer???

[bbb]

and how is it different from a bridged or boxed points with veneers ??
there is a thread in the main forum asking who was the first to do this
and a few of the pictures looked like my concept of bridged points with venneers
i did a search with no luck in finding definitions or pictures
i obviously am ignorant on the subject
any help is appreciated

Bridged points are when the bottom veneers connect between the points straight across.
Boxed veneers just have veneers going around a rectangle inlay in the cue.
I have no idea who did the first bridged point veneers and maybe Will Prout can chime in as he showed me what he says was the first box cue, but I cannot remember the makers name.
Here is a great example of a bridged veneer cue.

The second cue from the right is a boxed veneer cue we built:

I think " bridged or box point veneers" are two names for the same thing.

Boxed veneers would be like this

Hope this helps

Bridged and boxed technically are not the same even though the methods for building them can be very similar. As a bridge connects two different points or parts. A box just goes around an object boxing it in.
