Lovely. The colouring is fab! The first finial is fantastic too! I like the form too - nice movement in the curve.

Hi Paul the form was sealed then sprayed with ebonising lacquer, then I mixed the violet jo-Sonja iridescent paint with flow medium dabbed a bit on at a time and with an air brush I pushed the paint around then finished with clear lacquer, the finial was just a scrap piece that was turned and ebonised with the same lacquer

The form was a piece of lime and the finial was a scrap piece (no idea what wood that was

A great hollow form Andy and the finial looks good except for the step where they join it could have been a little smaller as it interupts the flow between the two.

Your right Derek it is a bit deep, but not bad for a first go, I'm going to turn another tomorrow and see what it looks like then

You are right a great first go Andy. As I say we live and learn, I just need to get back in the shed a learn all over again
