Very nice. The only thing I see is that a little more could have been taken on the front of the bowl where the shank meets. Still a nice looking billiard.

It's funny. At more times than one during the making of this I remember thinking "Shit! I took too much off." And in the end there's still more that could have been taken off. Yes, billiards are tricky! :D

Shank transition to the stem is done very well. A little rounding in the bowl may be an upgrade and the points made above, but straight walls can work as well.
