I just completed this billiard and I think it turned out very well. The look is nice and traditional and in my favorite color, black! I would say gp. 5ish. The slight bend really makes a difference and I would call it 1/16 to1/8 bent. The blast came out very well and it is a sitter. Hand cut traditional Cumberland mouthpiece w/Delrin tennon, hand made solid sterling silver “Wide Rope” fitment. Thank you very much for looking and your consideration of my work.
