>That`s a REALLY nice piece.Glad you could share it and even more glad I got to see it.
It really is one of the best forms I`ve seen to make max use of figure,material and proportion in a smaller piece in awhile.I`m assuming it is a small piece as you said it was made from a branch.That same form would look just as good as a large piece too.
John Jordan told our club that one way to test for good form is to turn the piece upside down.By that test I believe you`ve nailed it.

>Nice job Dick! I like that form I can't recall seeing it before. Kinda like a bowling pin without the head. Looks elegant.

>You are not the first one to say that Dave. The branck was to small to get the shape I wanted so after looking at the roughed out piece this is what found inside.
