Hey Casino! It' good to see you plugging away at these pipes. No4 for me was no looker, that's for sure.
For this point, I'd say the biggest thing is a diet. The pipe has too much briar remaining. Never be afraid to cut more off. Try to define the shape. Right now there is no transition from shank to the bowl. It's really just a mass of unformed wood. Try to really cut away at that shank, give the bowl some definition. It'll make a huge difference. As far as the stem goes, did you cut this one yourself? Or is a modified pre-fab?
I think if you cut some weight of the shank and bowl, the natural flow into the stem would improve on it's own.
Keep at it man!
