I need a pineapple or Pineapple like design to etch on a 6"x12" glass cabinet door. It's to compliment the light fixtures and I can't seem to find just the one I need. I've looked in all the usual places, anybody got one to share?

Thanks

George,
Here is 12" high by 7" in diameter hand carved pineapple finial; I just took this picture for you, if you open the attached thumbnail, right click and save the picture , blow it up to size , crop it to the size you want, print the image and trace the image with carbon paper- that might work

Actually yes and no, yours was the closest to the type of geometric form I think they want (you never know till they say "that one"), I actually spent some time cleaning it up, but the resolution isn't quite enough. You don't have your original sketches for the piece? BTW it's beautiful, what type of wood is it?

To everyone else, keep em coming, I Know someone's got that "special" one

and thanks

It's my first job for a new client I've been working on for a month, high end interior decorator, I hope I (we) can impress her.

As promised (in another thread), here is the final pineapple. The client wanted it to compliment the light fixture shown on the left, so I ended up creating the piece. Two doors actually, and I got lucky. I ASSUMED they were to a cabinet and opened against each other. Turns out they were two different cabinets. So my chances of each one having the hinges on the correct side and being right side up were 50/50, x 2 doors = 1 in 4, (if my math is right). Told the buyer if they were wrong call me and I would correct (mi culpa). They both hung correctly.

Any way, thanks to all who sent me pineapples, and especially to Brian, who dropped everything and took a picture of his hand carved piece, that was an inspiration to create the design.
