I call this one T-Rex... I tried to make it look somewhat like a T-Rex claw. I didn't stain it, just waxed natural.
It has its' problems, but I'm learning from these mistakes (and discovering my limitations).

It will be a while before I try another pick axe.

Too much
I think there were too many things coming together at the shank/bowl intersection. Bad design for a beginner.
Other than fixing the file marks on the top of the bowl-shank transition, you've got a pretty clean looking execution going there. As far as too many things going on at once, that's only going to get harder if you keep doing freehand designs.
I would do the shape again, more simplified, and execute the problem areas a lot better. You might just be cut out for these wild designs.
Not bad really...
