Hey, all! I have a Mr. Brog No 14 Churchwarden. Excellent pipe, but the stem is junk. I’m looking for someone that can make an acrylic (or anything, really) stem for me. I’d really like to get a red/brown swirl or some colored material. However, I’m lost on who can do it. Any suggestions?

You are headed down a very steep and muddy road. ;) CW's are a major PITA for technical reasons.

Here's a discussion on the pipemakers forum by top amateurs and a few pros about why they don't make them:

What exists pre-made might be workable depending on the pipe - a lot of these filtered "euro" pipes take a 10mm tenon insert standard. But ... it's probably what's on there now, honestly.
