Short yet not lacking in depth and breadth, and certainly a substantial handful, this Stubby Paneled Billiard from Castello offers angled horizontal grain in a contrast stain. From a topside view, the bowl tapers from the fore, its side panels conservatively angled back to the near-side flank, where a smooth transition leads to the slightly tapering shank. A saddle mouthpiece redirects the eye forward to the imposing bowl, its dimensions more than adequate for a comforting presence in hand.
