Sorry for the rambling =P
So here is my first go at it. I completely decimated the stem which caused me much duress and i am hoping i can figure out how to fix it. I am also aware that it needs more sanding due to i can see scratches all over it, in particular there is a pretty bad gash that i have not yet gotten out which you can see in the third picture. I would love any and all feedback and help on how to repair my stem would be loved even if its simply "Buy a new freaking stem". I also think i am going to thin the pipe down where the bowl meets the shank so that the bowl seems a bit rounder on the back. Once again thanks for any and all feedback.
Posted this in general the first time, thank god for a delete button and being the only person on at 3am to save my embarrassment.
