Yes, this is a really good first one !
I like the white ring in contrast with the brown color.
Maybe the bowl could be a bit higher...
The stem is brilliant !
Thanks for the comments.
It's weird that you can see what appears to be a chip in the ring in the photo, but it is very hard to see in person.
The bowl is actually vary large; almost too large. That pipe smokes for a long while.
I believe I will go with a 3/4" bowl next time.
I am working on a poker and trying to do a sterling silver band.
I was going to do a hand cut stem, but I am not getting good results yet.
I think the tail stock on my very cheap lathe has a touch of wobble or play.
If the custom doesn't work out, I have a very nice brown swirl stem to use.
