    About Finials

    Are there any youtube videos or online videos showing how to turn those delicate finials some of you present to us?

    I would really like some pointers on this process.

    Neal Addy has an article about turning a pedestal that uses many of the same techniques as turning a finial.

    Finials use most of the same techniques as the icicle pendants on Christmas ornaments, as well, so widening your search to include those might help.

    Cindy Drozda has the best DVD for making finials. She shows you step by step in a clear picture on how to make them. YouTube and such didn't do much for me.

    Steve,
    I second Bernie's suggestion. Cindy Drozda is one of the best.
