Another semi - Wild Hare Idea - that started out by seeing if I could
turn a Cindy Drozda type tall, thin finial - in oak (not the best wood
to turn thin). Got to play with pearlescent paint, TransTint dye and
shoe dye along the way, as well as a spindle gouge - with a fingernail
grind.

Fun little turning that doesn't use a lot of wood and doesn't have to
take long to do. Also fun to play with.

Here's a link to it
