Nice one Mike, I have been playing with finial's today as well, I blame you entirely!

[@MikeWaldt]

@@MikeWaldt Hear, hear; and they don't take much wood! Bernard.

[@bernardfutter5327]

Really elegant,Mike. What was the wood? I've just finished a decorated hollow form that went slightly wrong and needed a lid. Realising the result somewhat resembled a mosque, the finial became a Muslim crescent. Interesting change. Bernard.

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks Bernard design changes are sometimes better than the original idea. Not sure of the wood ... was an offcut from my scrap bin.

Terrific work mike I wish I could use a skew like that

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks Roy ... just lots of practice mate 🙂

[@mch000]

😊 Nice! Good to see the tool usage. How do you plan or design the general shapes of your finials? Do you have preferences for the feature choices you make (beads, coves, grooves, onions, etc.)?

[@MikeWaldt]

Thank you ... I have a basic design in mind but generally "wing" the features as I go. Cheers. Mike

[@MikeWaldt]

Thank you. I have a basic design in mind but add features as I go generally. Cheers. Mike
