I think this would have looked much better with a straight stem, but other than that everything looks great to me. Well done.

Nice one. Stummel looks great. The stem is a tad too long and the saddle could be more crisp and stem thinner after the saddle. Still a good looking pipe.

Looks Rhodesian to me :thumbsup:

I agree that straight stem or very slightly bent will look very good.

I will try a little straighten stem - maybe really it will looks better.

Just apply some heat the stems' memory will probably give you what you want.

I like it. Yes, the stem is a tad too long and too bent, but a good effort nonetheless!
