Nice work TL, but I think the finials are a bit too long.

Too long? :hmm: :pi: Maybe. They are still evolving. Perhaps the finial has to nestle down a bit more in the "crown".

I think it gets blue stain very easy or something. :hmm: Vague memory of Dai sensei talking about spraying it with exit mold before storing. The bits I have are dirty grey on the outside. :shrug: White inside though.

TL,
A good selection of boxes and the raindrop splash lids are great, just like looking at a stop frame photo. :2tsup:

I don't know, I seem to look at them and see the boxes as plinths for the finals. Maybe we are looking at the wrong star of the piece. Especially as we know TL loves her Finals.:)

P/S I am not a turner and don't know what I am talking about anyway.:wink:

TL,

Don't think raindrops actually have the crown bit and the middle bit at the same time. :think: But it is certainly a way I could go with them. Would look great next to my Tea drop shaped boxes too then. More of a coherent overall design story.:cool:
