The last part I can guarantee. The functional part, not so much.
There's a technical challenge, and an artistic challenge on mine. Neither will be easy. I'm planning on starting with a Little Devil Acorn, with the bowl sat upright, and the stem pointed down.

That then needs splicing into... something... so a stem can be mounted in a bent position further away.

That's the technical challenge. Trying to both get that smokeable, and also have the joint in such a way, that a pipe cleaner can find its way into the bowl.
Then the artistic challenge is building round it...

...so I end up with something like a meerschaum claw, but holding a cob.

I think it’ll look awesome! For function and possible stability, you may want to consider a small, metal tube to help connect the shank and bowl. From what I understand, MM used something similar when they made their recent run of bulldog shaped pipes (The Corndog) for their anniversary.
