HSC student Question

in Using Onshape
Hello, I am a student completing the HSC this year. I am trying to create a design on OnShape that has tree branches in it. I want it to taper from one end to the other, this being on the branches which bend. I have tried using the chamfer tool, but it won't go around a corner. Any tips? here is a drawing of the design. 
Thankyou

    You'll need something like 12 Lofts which go from a larger shape to a smaller one with some wavy guide(s) or a wavy path. I'm not sure what all the small shapes are, but if they are all the same depth, that could easily be done with one extrude.

    LOFT... and lot's 'em!
    • Upper right screenshot is the "paths" sketch.
    • Lower right screenshot shows the various Loft profiles.
