Long and willowy, with a plump, apple-like bowl that feels as though it has been gently perched at one end. This Pencil Shank Billiard from Scottie Piersel aptly keeps the bowl's cheeky curvature in full focus, accentuating its breadth and plump contours by setting it to a seriously trim, elongated shank and setting it against a ruby red sandblast and contrasting olive green vulcanite stem.
