It's a preformed vulcanite stem.

I learned by watching YouTube videos and reading at pipemakersforum.com. The real learning starts with your first pipe. You can get pre-drilled kits with a fitted stem to start out. That's how I did it and how the pros recommend. Then you can concentrate on getting the pipe shapes down and not have to worry about drilling tobacco chambers, draft holes, mortises, and cutting tenons on the stems. Kits are available at PIMO and AMsmoke.com and a few other web sites if you're interested. Give it a try!

Actually this was made with one of my last couple of pre drilled kits. I've been doing all my own drilling and making my own stems lately.

That's awesome.
That is a pipe I'd be proud to own - a real gem!
