Turned Lidded Box - Finial Choices - Your Prefence?
Did another deodor cedar turned lidded box (can't seem to stop making
these things). Made five candidate finials for it and have posted them to alt.binaries.pictures.woodworking - same subject line as this message. May do a trembleur type option as well - ball type bottom and droplet type top. Your preference - and why? charlie b |

I prefer A as it more in proportion to the box

Charlie,
I'm for D with C as second. More classical, less "dumpy", has better sweep between elements. Could argue, I guess, that it's a bit large for the box. B too straight, A too squat, E too busy. OMO TomNie |

Consider starting with a machinist's center drill to keep the entering
point from being diverted by hard end grain. ps. Tom. it's not PC to separate drill bits by grades or 'pass-fail' these days. Too demeaning for the 'F' bit's. Turn to Safety, Arch Fortiter http://community.webtv.net/almcc/MacsMusings |

Turned Lidded Box - Finial Choices - Your Prefence? added "F"
Since the piece is for my chiropractor I did an "F"
finial - suggested by a buddy after seeing "E". "Why not make one that looks like vertabrae? It is for a chiropractor right?" Pic posted in a.b.p.w. Instead of getting two or three pieces out of a logette, I think next time I'll go for one, less squat, tall and a bit more graceful box. This turning thing is A D D I C T I V E ! ! ! ! charlie b |

Sorry Tom & Charlie. Wish I could erase my post. Not good to cross post
threads.  Turn to Safety, Arch Fortiter http://community.webtv.net/almcc/MacsMusings |
