Here are some pictures from the last batch I took. The first is Cherry, 4" x 9-1/2". I filled a void with turquoise, Holly finial and WOP finish;

As always, comments and critique are welcome.
 
Man, you're gonna own the trademark on those twisted finials if you keep it up. Great work, man. :clap:

Those twisted finials are just excellent! You sure seem to have those nailed down tight :thumb:

Did you not look at the photos? They're not nailed. They're screwed on. :p
 
Sometimes these pictures make me to ditch all my tools except for my hammer and crowbar...!

I can't even imagine making those twisted pieces but they sure are sharp....



Nice

Not too sure about the first one but you hit the second one right out of the park. I can see why your wife got the dibs on it. I think I didn't like the shape of the first one and the finial on the second is pretty close to perfection.
 
I appreciate all the comments. I've been asked by a few to do a photo tutorial on how I make those spiral finials, and I had it completed last week. Sad part is now I can't find it.:dunno: The text was done on MS Word, and at the end of each session of working on it I would save it. Then, when I added the photos, things went haywire. The title is still shown, but I can't get it to show up.:huh: Pretty obvious I'm a computer dummy...maybe I'll try again sometime.
