Cushions in Aramith billiard ball — handmade, one of a kind, no. 226.

Aramith phenolic resin is all but wear-proof, does not fade, and shrugs off moisture and sweat, so patina is minimal and the look stays pristine; care comes down to a wipe with a cloth and an occasional light polish. We cover the “Aramith billiard ball” material separately.

Carvers favour this cut because it offers two characters at once — the flats catch and return light in even highlights, while the rounded edges stay smooth in the fingers and never bite the skin during a long roll.

Handmade by Valentin (V.S.). Made once and never repeated. Overall length 22.2 cm, weight 44.5 g. This piece is sold; we can craft a similar one to order.
