I would like to suggest that instead of the rounded shaped that you have used for the Buntut, you should instead used the one shown below. It should follow the shape of and slightly bigger then the stem.

To help you you can refer to the photos I have included below. The bottom view is on the left and the side view is on the right..

BigG,

thank you for your kind words! The Buntut is worked a little bit higher because I want to cover the wear at the end of the stem, look the pics in up.
When you look from down the shape followed the shape of the stem.

Regards,

Detlef
