Re: Pipe #6 "Pencil"
That's pretty impressive. I hesitate to make any suggestions, as you are way beyond my pipe-building skills. The only thing that looks off to my eye is the width of the stem. I'm not sure that the stem should have flared out at the sides like that. I think the stem wanted to be narrower, maintaining the same diameter as the shank all the way to the button. Either that, or maybe a proper fishtail stem would have looked okay. I'm not sure.

About the stem: diameter of the shank = 10mm (~0.39 inches) and if make the stem with same diameter, IMHO, it will look nice, but not be comfortable/convenient.

It's a bit difficult to see with the way that you sized you photos, but it seems like your on the right track.
