Cool pipe; I really like it. Someone on here will tell you to sand the inside of your bowl, and someone else will tell you to make a "y" in the stem near the button. I wonder how it might look if you had rounded off those hard edges on your stem. Congratulations on the new workshop!

Nice work. I think the pipe is a tad bowl-heavy.

If you want to make a funnel in the slot on your next one, I think you'll find that it improves smoking performance.

Very nice pipe.

Does anybody have examples of a correct funnel shape/size in a see-through stem like this? I'd love to have a visual for what I'm aiming for when I start cutting my own stem.
