Beech Fern hollow form

[Ronald Campbell]

Small beech hollow form with ebony finial. Yes I know the finial is ugly. Have turned only a couple finials and need help there. It has been a longtime since I have posted here so it will be interesting to see the reception.
C and C welcome

Ron, can't really see any details on the finial because of the color of the background but the color black works well with your pyro design. I do like the leaf design. Nice way for folks to add interest to a non-figured wood. Nice form and I like the way the spalt lines play with the leaves! Thanks for sharing!

The stylized fronds and fern are great on that background which despite its color reminds me of a pond surface. The finial
is hard to see but it's certainly not ugly, probably too detailed and formal for something so natural. I'd like too see a
dragonfly or a simple pine cone shape.

Beautiful form and pyro work. I can't see the finial very well but it appears to be proportionate in height.
