The next day, after a good night, a coffee, and a little sanding, it's time to discover the hollowed branch...Look at this crazy shape !
|

The most impotant step, the sound holes making...Took me 2 hours, cause this wood wanted to play, and make me a little crazy before giving me his beautiful sound...
|

A small branch...
|

...Who wanted to be a bird.
|

This branch was long, so to make a F#, and preserve its beautiful shape and lenght, i've added four in-line tuning holes, Fallen Branch made.
|

Now, getting the best fundamental ever made, I need to draw the finger holes layout...
|

...Then drill and tune them. Lura, this flute sound sweet and clear as a mountain stream. |

Isn't it a wonderful unusual instrument ? |
