    I'd love to chime in and help but I am either unfamiliar with your terminology or you have not provided enough info in your question.  Love that picture.  The scratched wood and color temperature are great.  The depth of field looks great.

    What I am asking how would I go about drawing this part as the underside of the top of this collar is much like an umbrella where it is curved. I could not get the underside to “shell”!

    I would suggest starting by creating the basic shape with a sketch and the revolve feature. From there add the rest of the cutouts or whatever details you want to incorporate.

    Just rereading my comment.  I was not attempting to be sarcastic.  I really do like that picture.

    for what it's worth I read your comment as a very genuine complement :smiley:

    I agree with @wayne_sauder this part should be started with a revolve feature. If i'm looking at it right your feature list would be:
    - profile sketch
    - revolve
    - hole sketch
    - hole cut
    - circular pattern

    It looks like there's some clippy stuff going on too that would come after that
