SCALE 1:1
My object is a tail of a wooden alligator toy. When drawing this series of measured drawings, I meaduresd different elements of the object first (total length and width, length of each wooden block and distance of each gap). Then I traced the object onto paper to portray its main outline because the size of the object can be drawn in scale 1:1. I used this method to draw my elevation and plan/section (which is the same one).

Analysis The whole object is formed by these repeating geometric wooden blocks. Those blocks distributed staggered in left and right (asymmetric) in order to allow more space in the gap to twist. The gap between each two blocks gives the object spaces to twist.
There is a fabric in between to glued blocks in both side together. Because fabric is soft, it allow the the object to twist as a central axis.
