as a birthday gift for my wife. I want it to have a finial and a foot. The loose plan is to turn the stock for the box round, cut tenons on each end, then cut the tenon/part the lid off all between centers. Next I would hollow the top and bottom in the chuck and do final sanding and finish the inside of the box. I am toying with the idea of turning and gluing a surprise inside the top. Next step would be to cut a mortise in the bottom of the bottom and the top of the top and glue in the stock for the foot and finial. After that I would turn the foot and the finial, then do final sanding and finishing on the outside. Does this sound like a plan?

I would get Cindy Drozdas video "Fabulous Finials" I could try and relate here method to you, but I would be doing you a serious disservice.
