Just finnished this. I have an old Stanwell hanmade "pewit" shape that modeled for this one. Bowl is shaped more like the river stone shape in my album.

Yes, your pipe is much more better then the original! My comments earlier in this thread were given before I could see the new pics - in comparisson to the Stanwell you did a very good job with your interpretation.ScoJo wrote:Personally, I like your pipe better than the Stanwell.

That stem is just right Dan...
Let's remember, that a commenting on things as athetics are 100% subjective, not to be confused with comments concerning things like gaps between stummel and stem, centering of draft hole, thickness of the bit, etc.
"the stem is too long" is like saying "I don't like that color" IMHO...
Of course, I get paid to point out others design mistakes, so maybe I'm bias.
