Here's a look at some finials I just finished for a commission. The customer wanted to replace a few missing finials for some chair backs. I cut these out of oak to match the original (the darker one in the center). I learned something new as I worked on this project. It is easy to turn something of your own design since you have freedom to make any "design adjustment" you want. It's another thing all together to make seven items look exactly like the original. I made a template that I could match up to each one but, that ain't as easy as it sounds. Anyway, next time... I buy a duplicator for my Jet mini ;-). All in all, it was a satisfying project and the customer was happy with the results.
