Finial Box

[Bernie Weishapl]

Well I have sat and viewed Cindy Drozda's Fabulous Finial Box for a couple of days and decided yesterday was time to get down to business. This is my version of the box she made on her DVD. It is mahogany with a maple inlay and maple foot. Box hollowed out to 3/16" thick walls. It is finished with lacquer and buffed. Overall 5 1/4" tall and 3" across. I was really quite pleased for my first try. I have several idea's for several others as time permits. Sorry for the pictures as I had to take them fast as my work just called me out and my tent is down because of painting the room. Comments welcome.

Bernie....My friend.....You've got another winner! You sure have come a long ways in a short time! I really like the form....the sharp detail and your choice of woods and finish! Nicely done Bernie!

Wow Bernie! Very impressive finial! Nice little box - form and finish! Looks like you are going to give Neal some competition in the finial department! Nice work!

Very nice Bernie!! I,m somewhat new and after a few bowls ,lidded boxes have captivated me..There are so many variations and you hit this one perfectly!

I took a class with Cindy where we made one similar to yours. I know how fussy they can be. You did a very nice job.

Very nice Bernie. I especially like the maple inlay in contrast with the mahogany.

Very very nice Bernie. I see you even took the time to line up the grain pattern in that first photo.

Very nice work. You have inspired me to give it a try, I've made boxes but never with a finial.

Bernie this is an excellent box. Your finial is very well done and the accents fit perfectly.

Very nice Bernie! I love the grain, colors and attention to detail:)

You're definitely an inspiration to a newbie like me:D

[Troy Donson]

Outstanding!!!

Some day I will try something like that.

I print out all the forms that I like and put them in a notebook so I can attempt then when I get more skilled.

Bernie I am putting this one at the front!!

Very nicely done

Thanks again. I appreciate it. I have another one on the drawing board that I hope is prettier than this one.
