Here are a few pics of billiard number, number, umm, I think about 14???
I told someone once that I had made three billiards. His response was good! Now make 40 more!!! :oops:
The rim doesn't rise in the front. It's my lousy picture taking skills. Actually it has a slight forward cant to it.
Anyway, on to number 15...

Definitely should have pulled the sides in more where the shank and bowl junction is.

I was just thinking abut what my favorite billiards look like. Maybe some of these pics can help you in your desire to make them even nicer.
This is in my opinion the best shaped Billiard ever made. It is a 1966 Dunhill LB.


Here is another classic looking Billiard made buy Jack Howell.


Here is another I like. This one is also a Rad Davis.

Thank you all. Yes, to adapting to a shorter bowl, height wise.
Cigarmaster, I actually have that picture of the billiard by Rad Davis hanging on my wall in my shop as a reference. I guess I should refer to it a little bit more.
The bowl diameter is 7/8".
On to #15

Lovely. To show the cant, a straight on side shot should do it. And maybe the props affect how it looks; try some without the artistic look!
