I love the idea of this, Harry. One thing that stood out for me, is that, personally, I would have taken a bit more off the bottom of the shank, so that the stem is centered when viewed from the side.
The button also seems a bit big to me.

I like this one, Harry. I agree with Charl that a bit of material could be taken from the bottom line of the shank towards the stem. The bottom line goes a bit flat where the shank meets the bowl. Continuing the arc from the heel all the way up the shank would look a bit more graceful. That being said, it's probably not even noticeable to all but the trained eye. I also agree that the button is a touch too deep/thick. The only other suggestion is to clean up the edges of the airway at the bottom of the mortise so lint doesn't get snagged there from pipe cleaners. Very nice work.
