Hard to see from the angle of the picture, but it looks like the front of the bowl is slightly higher than the shank side, where it should be the other way around. You've tapered the shank evenly down to the button, which makes the shank look about the right diameter at the shank/stem junction, but it looks a little to chubby at the bowl junction this way.

Otherwise, nice finish work and good overall proportions!

Front of the bowl is higher than the shank side and stem with shank should make one line. It was my intention.
Thank's for your comment :D I'm glad that you can see a whole lot of details.

So is the bowl/chamber angled back, or is the rim just crooked? I'd prefer the traditional forward cant of bowl and rim.

In the last pic it looks like there is a change in angle on the top line of the shank about a 3rd of the way from the bowl to the stem.

Here it's hard to see. The bowl is inclined slightly forward and rim is horizontally beveled. A bit like the Zulu's pipes. And yes, the shank near bowl go up.

Looks great, I think the bulge a billiard should have on the front across from the shank/bowl transition could be a bit more pronounced. Nice job getting the bottom line so flat.
