Pine Cone(in bronze)

Here's the first iteration and result of a design problem I've been mulling over for a couple of weeks,namely how to FABRICATE,(as opposed to casting), a pine cone with reasonable accuracy. I felt a good stock reproducible shape to start with would be PUNCH PARTS. So I considered my industrial connections and got access to a wonderful old 65 ton J.C.Whitney punch. On a Saturday I took over two plates,one of 3/16ths silicon bronze (which this piece is made from), and a stainless plate which was 1/8th inch thick.
I'm reasonably pleased with this piece,but obviously some of the details can get refined if I go further.
