This is not really a pen question, unless you've ever made a 20 inch long pen. I'm going to make a reproduction of a piece my grandfather made cira 1930. I guess you would call it a sideboard table. It was probably used as a serving table in a dining room. Each side has arms (which look like ears) with dowels. For holding towels I suppose. They are 20 inches long, 3/4" round. I want to turn them rather than use boring old dowels. I will probably make them larger in diameter.
My problem is I seem to have no creativity at the moment. I've googled dowels, table legs, walking canes, but not found any inspiration.
Can you help me design (or point me in the right direction) a 20 inch dowel with coves and curves and beads?
