[attachment=2318][attachment=2319][attachment=2320][attachment=2321][attachment=2322][attachment=2323]You said something about how i turned finials over in my other thread. Well as i was working on one a little bit ago, thought i'd take some pics as i went along.How as i've never had any one but the internet to help me. This is just how i do them.I'm sure others do them different, so take this with a grain of salt.:pleasantry: This one is holly as i love how it turnes. I do start off between centers then put in a chunk. Well here's the pics hope it helps.

Very cool! I gotta try to do smaller finials, love them, I think they really top the piece, no pun intended. That tip is tiny! That hf may smell bad to the nose but it's candy to the eye:good:

Hey Steve, thanks bunches!:clapping:

Using "mini" tools..?:pleasantry:

Looks to me like you do a good bit o' the sanding as you get to the desired form, then continue on down towards the base..?:good2:

Much appreciated,

yea man i do most of my sanding as i go along, i found it's a lot easier.As far as the mini tools i use both.The mini tools i have i won from penn state, in a turning contest. Not sure if you were part of it ,but DKMD also won. It was beauty and the beast, over at WTA.
