For fat fingered guys like me there's a tendency to flare the mouth of the bowl that way...Fingers are great for that so you can feel any unevenness in the chamber.

YepI would leave the chamber as it is. You are already to wood up around the rim. Anymore and you could start digging into the wood if you're not careful. I would also go to work on the rim with some q-tips and spit to get that gunk off.
Thank you for the replies everyone. I will leave the chamber as is. I will also remove the goop from the rim of the bowl. I am very happy to have been able to keep this pipe in the end. Its a nice little piece. Thank you.If you do want to remove more cake from the chamber, I would suggest using a small pocket knife blade from that point on and stay away from the top of the chamber.
