Makes you wonder whom the true masters of style are.
It also makes me think, why? Up, down, left, right, energy wasted? Most likely sunlight chasing.
If only I could achieve such curves, then I would be a happy man indeed.

Re: A fallen gum branch
Thought I might make it into a tanuki candidate.
Skimmed the backside flat, now to chase the line for the sapling.
Could do it in a few minutes with my dremel, but hand tools I prefer. (Edit- Just realised I sound a lot like Yoda, I should really stop doing that.
)
Might need to continue this, when the vise is accessible.
