    Your Collection: Mostly Traditional or Non-Traditional Shapes?

    Although I love traditional shapes, Billiard, Pot, Prince and Dublin, I cant help myself when a traditional has been taken to a new level by being pinched, squashed or tortured into a wild shape that allows one to see its origins yet realistically is non traditional. I have a soft spot for wild...
