Pipe #5 Sokolik influenced Rhodesian

Handmade ebonite stem with single copper ring. I would love to hear your comments and critiques. I need to get better with help. My stem work still needs improving. Thank you.

The shank must be taken in a lot more towards the bowl, if seen from the top. The only way that type of shank will work is if the curve flows into the stem, ie the stem also have a drastic reduction in size.
The bowl rings seem to be uneven.
More wood can be taken away on top of the shank, and also the back of the bowl.
