Jeff Powell Indian Blanket Question

[Robert Sherlock]

Hi all,

I am need of some opinions. I am nearly done turning a Jeff Powell Indian Blanket blank for a jr gent ii. All I have left is to sand and finish. As I turned the longer barrel I realized that the different sized diameters was going to give me some trouble. See the attached pics and you can see the design is off a bit due to the different diameter of bushings.

What do you think...finish the way it is or use a different piece of wood to go with the cap (I could probably match the either of the woods used in the inlay).

Thanks,
Robert

I would turn it down until the pattern looked correct then build back up to the correct diameter with a ca finish.
