The finials are a neat little touch to add to them. I am getting better at them, only had 1 of them shoot across the studio in those four. I had also turned a tru-stone finial for another pen I had done that I really like. I like the diagonal also, hopefully I can do that again.
I am just over 1 gallon into blank pouring so it has been a fun learning curve. Now I need to step up to clear casting over other items. I don't know how you folks have time do turn pens and do all the casting you do.
