Looks pretty nice! The stain looks even and the fit and finish look pretty good.
On the shape, I think the taper on the shank is just a degree or two too much. Also, there should be just a little bit more heel than what you have. Aside from that, I think you're really close to making a perfect billiard. You've come a long ways since Chicago.

Nice shape. I totally agree with whats been said. I will add that the stem from the top view looks pretty wavy. Take a file and make the sides flat or taper very slightly toward the button. The other thing that sticks out is the shank. It looks very oval-shaped. Try to make them roundon all sides by turning the stem while sanding.
