I like it! Working upside-down, top to bottom is also how I go about making a "tree" for casting. These sprues, especially with the parts clipped off, often remind me of a pine cone. I've thought about doing a wax cone in pretty much the same manner to cast in bronze, but have never gotten around to it. The cast trees can have a pretty nice sounding ring when struck.
