I like the shape and the execution with one exception - I can't help but feel that is a pre-made churchwarden stem and the thick part nearest the tenon has been shaped rather... non-committally, I suppose, to the tenon thickness. Much better imho would be a stem that was the same thickness as the tenon - just a smooth arc back from the pipe, or if you want some adornment there, cut something that reflects the overall shape and feel of the pipe.

thanks for feedback. first intention was as you suggest. i would like it like that more also. but i wanted to shape back of the pipe and thus i had to change also stem. i need to improve in turning tennons on my lathe as well.

you get a "B+" for effort.
