Until the REAL pipe makers chime in here's my 2 cents... Buy an assortment of pipe stems from a pipe supply store such as PIMO. Also buy the stem tenon turning tool. With this combo you should be able to custom fit just about any pipe stem to your bowl.

I agree with JBD on all that. All you'll need to bend your bent stems is a candle and water to set the bend. www.pipemakersforum.com is a good place to go for instruction with pictures.

Are you restoring estate pipes? Post some pictures of what you have, we like pipes.
