Not bad for a first pipe. Biggest thing to work on is removing more material. Most obvious is the chin or heel of the bowl and the top and bottom of the stem. More material off in those three places would vastly improve this pipe. Also, add a slight taper in your shank. When you don't, it give the illusion that it reverse tapers which is typically visually not a good thing aesthetically.
