Not bad for a 5th pipe.

The button is a bit tall and extends beyond the stem on the sides. I did that for my first few hand cut stems as well. Try to make the button shorter/closer to the slot. You can use a needle file to round over the edges of your slot.

I can also see there's a slight gap between the end of the shank and stem. When you're facing the shank and stem, make sure you've got sharp tools and proper alignment. Then shape the stem and shank together as much as possible. I find a fine file or nail board is helpful in getting a smooth transition from shank to stem.

I don't see sanding scratches and uneven stain, and the finish looks shiny, so I think you're on the right track with that part.

It's hard to see the bottom of the bowl with it sitting inside the tin. The overall proportions, however, look pretty good.

Enjoy smoking it and keep making more pipes!
