American Estates: Scottie Piersel Smooth Pencil Shank Billiard with Silver Tobacco Pipe

This Pencil Shank Billiard from Scottie Piersel is a slim, lightweight rendition of the shape chart standard. It pairs an average Billiard bowl to a long, narrow shank. Doing so creates a clearly defined, dimpled transition. It also makes the base of the bowl appear rounder than it otherwise might and the bowl plumper and taller than it actually is. The pipe, though seven inches long, weighs less than an ounce-and-a-half, its lightness contributing to easy clenching between the teeth. A thick band of silver embellishes the junction between the shank and stem, providing a bright glimmer of contrast between the stem's matte black and the golden brown stain of the stummel. Said stain shows off gorgeous flame grain around the bowl's walls and tangled nests of birdseye twisting around the rim.
