I do not have much of a story with this on lathing process as my computer refuses to download the pictures. I hope I will be able to recover pictures of another project with help from my computer friend. It is a major one that and I want to do a video. This project was a practice one to sharpen up what skills I have for an old guy.The color blending came out allot better than I thought when I was doing it. Very pleased with the result, It is a mixture of red and gold, dabbed on and blended around with air pressure. The colored rings on the last project I blackened it with felt pen, I tried it with this larger surface and it worked out well, no masking at all. It is hard to take a picture to show the true brilliance.
Tried lathing another one of those finials, eventually I will get a better one. Just have to figure out how to post them vertically, I rotated them in pictures, showed vertically, guess it is too late at night and they want to lay down. what can one do, I give up.
All in all the combination with the lid turned out OK.
Thanks for looking and comments are always encouraging.Rain here today here, no snow, what a disappointment. NOT REALLY ONE IS ALWAYS NOT PREPARED FOR IT, no matter how late it comes. HAVE A GREAT THANKS GIVING DAY to all those south of the border, and those south of the equator, STAY COOL. rest of us stay WARM
