"Tarheel!" I guess I'll have to forgive you for that one. Anyway, my future sketch for the tree includes a rounded apex such as the one you are referring to. I agree that the rounded (or thunderhead) shape is preffered, it conveys a since of power and age, but also grace (Just look at the Hiroshima pines). Just a simply rounded, tiered design with a rough textured oval pot is what I'm going for with this one. I think the rough textured pot would go with the muscular looking trunk quite nice, and the rounded oval shape will go nice with the rounded canopy. John Pitt and Horst H. make nice primitive oval pots, but I'm getting way ahead of myself, huh? Hey, it's always good to have an idea where you want to go. Anyway, thanks for all the advice, guys. Any other suggestions are certainly welcome.
All the best,
