After seeing yours, John, I am inspired.
Next week I hope to get into the shop and begin learning to do these.
I was looking at your "hanger" when I remembered one of our demonstrators making his own. He turned two spheres, made a sort of finial, and used his own brass wire to make the hanger. I especially like these, they look like half an ornament. You can see a pic of that here: (

The demo turner is David Reed Smith. He showed a process where he turns that wooden "cap" that you place on top of a round ornament . Very interesting process, excellent turner too!
