In my opinion this is an awesome shape. I love the traditional lines and colors. This canted Billiard has me motivated to make more. Just something about the grace and lines really pleases me. I have made these in the past with a taller bowl but I am not sure which I like better. The blast came out incredible on the pipe and it is very comfortable in the hand and mouth. Cut from Italian Briar I purchased in 2004. Hand cut traditional Cumberland mouthpiece w/Delrin tennon, hand made solid sterling silver fitment. Graded S4. Thank you very much for looking.
