Finial Egg Pot
I've been having a play - trying to do something more ornate and multiple parts than a standard one piece turning.
The inspiration for this was the duck & goose eggs you see people make into boxes with hinges, lace, beads etc. I saw an (loosely) egg shaped box unable to stand without a base and a tall finial top.
The Box was easy, 4 finials and 2 bases until I was happy with it though.
The box is mahogany polished with Carnubra wax, mahogany also for the base, the finial is American black walnut. The base & Finial are finished in Japlac for the high gloss finish.Dragonfly
No-one suspects the dragonfly!

That'll be perfect for holding finialled eggs!
Not much call for them around here though. Our chooks would complain to OH&S about unreasonable working conditions if we expected them to lay finialled eggs.
