Maybe leaving the top as is looks a little choppy. Any suggestions would be appreciated. That top edge looks like a castle wall! I suggest you cut it off a few inches lower than it is, and parallel to that top-most cut of the design, as seen in this view. That way, it won't be level with the ground, but with the design. Does that make sense? If I had skills, I'd do a photo shop. :lol:
