Bent Billiard_ish. Stain was beige, but turned out more orange than expected. Couple of the pics are a bit fuzzy, sorry. Comments welcome and encouraged! :)

The pipe isn't bad. The biggest issue is that it could stand to have more briar removed. It's a bit chubby and undefined. This was one of the hardest things for me to work out and I still struggle with when to stop removing more briar. The shank is too short and the stem is too long. The shank length should be the same length as the top of the shank to the rim. The shank/stem transition is pretty good and so is the stemwork. Overall a nice pipe. Keep practicing.

Actually, Christopher Walken said marsupials scare him.
