Try with a blob made out of many spheres. Those at elbow level been 
unscaled, changing progressively to the proportion you want at the wrist 
level. Both end will be rounded, but you can flaten those with: 1- a 
negative strenght component at each end, or 2- intersecting the blob 
with a box of apopriate size.
