About this creation
I found myself thinking "There must be a use for these palm tree segments"

In response to some of the recent reviews, let me clear up a few things:

Snooker, Pool, and Billards are actually 3 different games. They each use their own different (although similar) equipment, and have different rules & objectives.
|

|
|
Comparing Snooker to Pool or to Billards is like comparing American Football to Rugby, or Hockey to Lacrosse, or Tennis to Ping Pong.

The games are similar and doubtless related to eachother but are distinctly different. Being skilled at one game does not guarantee success in the other.

This is a Snooker table, with Snooker balls and pockets.

It is loosely inspired by a Brunswick table, and is a little undersized for the scale of the balls, so i used only 10 red balls, a commonly played variation on the actual rules of Snooker that include 15 reds.

Notice that a Snooker Table's bumper rails curve into the pockets, unlike the straight angles of a Pool Table.

The word "Billiards" is commonly used these days to refer to all Ball & Cue games, but "Billiards" is in fact the name of a specific game. A true Billard table is pocketless.

When I saw the main pic icon I thought "adorable". Looking at this closer I'm going to change that to "fabulous".
