just the basics

Needed a turning fix.:D So this maple HF is what i came up with. Nothin special,just a old piece of maple i had sitting around for over a year, and decided it was time to put it to use. Not sure if it needs a finial,but had one sitting around that fit, so i'll show a pic of it with,and with out and let ya all decide if it should have one or not. Thanks and all C&C welcome.245066245067245068

I think I actually like it without the finial, but with the finial it don't look bad ether,

[Paul Williams]

I like it witht he finial. Nice match for one that was just sitting around. I'm going to think that you might have adjusted it a bit to follow the curve so well. Nice looking piece with or without the finial

[Steve bellinger]

Paul no i really didn't adjust the curve on it.I just set it on there for the pic.Got luckly i guess.

[Jim Burr]

Nice work bud!! Either way looks good!

[Dennis Ford]

Nice looking HF, I don't think it needs a finial but agree that this finial fits really well. You won't go wrong either way.

[Kathy Marshall]

Very nice Steve! I think it looks good either way.

Nice form Steve, wood looks great. I like the piece with or without the finial. Nice job on the finial's form, well executed. And, it transitions nicely on the form. My only comment would be the size of the finial, to my tastes it would look better if it was a bit larger/taller.
