Well, not really but I'm on the trail of table decorations for the church ladies Christmas dinner. 40 tables of eight, all elegantly decorated differently by the table host. Sharon asked if I could make eight covered boxes for her table.
Well, I don't know. Let's see. I cut some blanks and began the process:

I've finished several as you can see. My blanks are 3 inch diameter and 5-6 tall. I'm getting the feel for the process but I need some inspiration.
160413
If you've got a favorite covered box shape how about posting it here get help get the juices flowing.
I'm also attempting my first finials. Not even closed to the slim, elegant work I see out of Kentucky (and other places) but it's a start.
160414
This one, points up seems a little heavy, this one, points down, OK, but not in the oak.

So, if you've got boxes and finials you really like please feel free to coach me with some pics here.
Many thanks, Tom, in D'Ville, off on a new turning adventure.
