Easy to see why you sell so many. You put a lot of detail in them which makes them extra nice.

Thanks to all.
Rob it takes some patience and I use a curved rest. I just go slowly around the edge. If you go slow and take your time it works.Bernie W.

Thanks Ned. They are about the same size. Slightly shorter in some cases.

Bernie, those are wonderful! Do you use a chatter tool or just a skew on the tops?
God and family, the rest is icing on the cake.

Thanks Jonathan. I use a Sorby Micro texturing tool. It works great on small
