I've been making these little bedposty things on the lathe, to get practice in and get myself on my way to making finials. I love me some finials. It took about an hour and a half to do this first one. If you turn wood you can pause and have a good laugh at my expense if you like. Now I can do four in that amount of time, and hoping to improve.
Materials:cherry wood, handmade linen rope with coral beads, olive quartz.
