pokers are difficult

I have discovered that pokers are difficult to do right. I will make a few more to improve so all advice and feedback is welcome, thanks, Norm.
The shank looks like it sags downward. I think that may be due to the drilling at a forward cant. If you're doing a straight poker, you wouldn't want much of a cant at all. If you're going to have a cant, however, make the bottom of the bowl tilt a bit so the stem goes parallel to the table if it's sitting or perhaps pointed a bit upward.
Other than that, I can see a little bump between stem and shank. I can't tell if it's a gap or if it just didn't get sanded down evenly onto the shank.
Keep up the good work!
