Chasingembers, that is a different pipe. I actually cut that one down and now it is a pot billiard. I thought the short stem was too odd ball with the the full size billiard bowl.
Here is what it looks like now:
You can see a flat spot on the stem side of the bowl. That's bad ju-ju as well as the chin is cut-off again. This one is a real pipe piece of junk. Another one for the old shop drawer. I think the solution to the chin problem is not to make my initial band saw cut so tight in board which of course leaves me no material to work with to maintain the chin. Drawing a vertical line from the center of the bowl going forward is where the chin starts. Going back toward the stem it needs to be absolutely dead flat. Going forward upward on the front of bowl requires more material on the bottom. Next time.

I don't think the chin looks that bad and cutting down the bowl definitely improved the overall proportions.
