Default Another Ummmm.....How???

I have been ooohing and aaahhing over this implosion for sometime and I was wondering if there is any tutorial for this one? I thought it was a straight double row implosion but I've tried this numerous times. I also thought it might be a tube implosion?



Any tutorial or ideas would be greatly appreciated. This one has been my rubik's cube brain teaser.

I make things like this a lot. It's just an implosion that has been pulled to a point. When you are ready to remove the rod, punty to the back of your implosion... heat the top half of the implosion closest to the rod, and gently pull. It takes a good amount of heat control. Keep trying. You'll get it!

Another way is to make a normal rounded implosion, then heat the center, plunge a heated (but not melted) rod into it and pull it out. You may have to do it a couple of times.
