Thank you Chris. A broken finial is an easy fix. No need to toss the whole when an element of the piece can be repaired, replaced, or sometimes repurposed. I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Thanks Billy. We both liked the original so I just needed to get something close. Strongly want to do some more study of finial shapes to get me out of this shape rut.
Thank you Wes. The walnut is beautiful, but can be too open grain for a finial. I was pretty fortunate with this one. As you could see it turned beautifully. Your comment is so appreciated.
Thank you David. I liked what I had before that got broken, so just needed to get relatively close to the size. It’s not bad and works with the hollow form nicely.
I was surprised that you were able to get walnut that thin and not break. It is a rather open grain wood, and I've not had good luck making thin finials with it. I make sea urchin finials that are about 6 inches long with parts that are about 1/8 inch thin. I've had good luck with dry ash (the quarter sawn portion after cutting a bowl blank from a log) and a lot of the South American rosewoods.
Nice job Doug. I love seeing people doing "save" videos for projects. A replacement final on a project that broke is a great example.

Love that, "it's ok, I know where to get another one." 😂 Great turning as always Doug! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Tim. I really did say that. No need to get upset over something that trivial.
@@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound Couldn't agree more, that's what I love about wood! Don't like it? Change it. Broke it? Make a new one 😁
Great job Doug 👍👍
Thank you so much Roger!
Looks great Doug nice job👍👍
Thank you Scott
Looks great Doug. Nice delicate work.
Thank you Gary. It was a little more fun not trying to get down 1/16” or smaller.
Lovely little finial, Doug! And it looks great on that piece.

That's lovely Doug.
Thank you. It is very much like the one that broke. Just a touch thicker.
Nice finial Doug. Love that walnut.

Super fine work, well done Doug! 😃
Thanks Val.
Beautiful little Finial Doug. Great job
Thanks Japie. Been needing to get it done just wasn’t thinking about it when I was at the lathe. Gotta keep momma happy.
@@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound lol, happy wife, happy life hey? 🤣

Thank you. Wife likes it. I guess that’s the best news.
Well done.

Really nice Doug. Gonna have to check out the detail gouge
Great tool. Thank you for watching and commenting. Much appreciated.
Beautiful!
Thank you so much!
That looks great Doug
Thank you Jiggsy. Finials are always a learning experience for me. I need to do some more study on finial shapes so they don’t all look alike n
@@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound I've not done any fine finials myself and will need to do some practice on that
Nice job on this👍😎
Thank you Luie. I was thinking yesterday that I need to do some more study on finials. I’m kind frustrated in a rut, making the same thing.
@@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound Yeah I know what you mean
Hello I hope you are great Your video was very beautiful Definitely in the description of your videos Tag it ❤👋

You’re not wrong. Tighter grain is by far easier and more stable. Thanks for watching and commenting.
