Right to the Point

Never cut wood shingles to a point!

It is extremely difficult to do with out breaking the shingle, it will tend to split along the grain at the point. If you can do it,  it will not stand the test of time and the points will eventually fall off with the normal expansion and contraction of the wood.

Always use a cover trim piece, same as you would do for a rake freeze.
