I like that, may not be very practical but looks great.

I have to admire that finial turning. You must have steady hands and sharp tools.
You have ended up with a very attractive piece.

That is incredible! How did you get the black branches up the side? Im a such for danger myself so thought it may have been burnt in for a second. Looks stunning! That finial is to die for!

Hi William and thank you, the design was burnt on with a pyrography machine and NOT using the Lichtenberg method as that just would scare the pants off of me.

haha people do get a bit distant to me when i mention i play with electrics and water! Do not fear, I shan't be posting anything on here (unless you want me too) I normally respond by saying it is up to the individual whether or not they do something in their own sheds. My wife however wants to give pyrography a go. she had a go at a turner friend of mines house. My hands would be killing after a few minutes as I have carpel tunnel in both hands. :(

I'm a sucker for a good finial Derek. Love it.

Please don't. Permission to kill off other members isn't granted until you've got at least 50,000 posts under your belt.

That is a beauty Derek well done.
Been meaning to ask a sparky mate about this Lichtenberg method.
