Outstanding Steve!!!!

Now I have to ask, where did you learn to turn like that? DVD's, hands-on classes, trial and error, etc... Curious minds want to know:)

Also, did you use a scroll saw to shape out the acrylic part and how did you get the acrylic so shiny?

Nice work!

David

[Roland Martin]

David - I am self-taught but have received a lot of online guidance in the form of critiques (whether I wanted them or not!) Here is a link (http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showpost.php?p=1631712) to the original post and it briefly describes how I shaped the finial.
