Decided i would try making finials for my vessels and post some pictures.
Pictures 1-2 are natural colored vessels with black and natural color finials
Pictures 3-4 is a tall finial on a dyed vessel
Picture 5 all natural vessel with natural small finial
Picture 6 was my first attempt at making a finial and i was a little to big for the vessel but what the heck
Picture 7 Pine vessel with small finial on a black wrought iron stand
Picture 8 Misc projects with finials
Picture 9 short fat vessel with natural finial on
The tall finial in pics 3-4 was the harder because the more narrow you get with it in the lathe the more wobble/flex you get
The shorter finials seem to be much easier to turn
Still learning the ropes but its all in fun.............................thanks to all
