Morta Billiard

Post by heri »

Billiard from morta I made week ago.

Ebonite stem and 9mm filter chamber. Silver accent. I made photos before i polished the silver.
What do you think about it? Any critique?

Looks good! The fourth picture makes it look like the stem taper isn't quite even. Otherwise, I think it looks very nice!

Shaping looks real good as do proportions. Stem taper looks good. I really only have two critiques: 1) the bit end of the stem has some sharp edges that should be softened for comfort; and, 2) the finish looks like it could be improved. I'm not familiar with morta much at all but the finish looks a bit dull compared to some I've seen. Very nice work.
