I’ve 3 one off finials on order so thought that would make a nice easy start back before I start production work. This one was the easiest as it was just to a sketch with only overall size and peg diameter stated. Using a skew and spindle gouge for main turning and 10mm parting tool for the peg/dowel. Sapele wood and approx 1450rpm. #handmadewithlove #craft #woodworking #woodturning | The woodturners

Maple is reasonably hard and dense so takes slightly longer than softwood but I still try to make the most efficient cuts. Notice how I use the width of the tool to gauge where to make cuts this means I can turn very accurate and quickly without the need for a storyboard #woodturning #woodturner #maple #acorn #finial #postcap #handmade | The woodturners | Facebook
