Default Turned Lidded Box - Finial Choices - Your Prefence?

Did another deodor cedar turned lidded box (can't seem to stop making
these things). Made five candidate finials for it and have posted them
to alt.binaries.pictures.woodworking - same subject line as this
message.

May do a trembleur type option as well - ball type bottom and droplet
type top. Your preference - and why?

I prefer A as it more in proportion to the box

Charlie,
I'm for D with C as second.
More classical, less "dumpy", has better sweep between elements.
Could argue, I guess, that it's a bit large for the box.
B too straight, A too squat, E too busy.

Consider starting with a machinist's center drill to keep the entering
point from being diverted by hard end grain.

ps. Tom. it's not PC to separate drill bits by grades or 'pass-fail'
these days. Too demeaning for the 'F' bit's.

Since the piece is for my chiropractor I did an "F"
finial - suggested by a buddy after seeing "E".

"Why not make one that looks like vertabrae? It
is for a chiropractor right?"

Pic posted in a.b.p.w.

Instead of getting two or three pieces out of
a logette, I think next time I'll go for one, less
squat, tall and a bit more graceful box.

This turning thing is A D D I C T I V E ! ! ! !

Sorry Tom & Charlie. Wish I could erase my post. Not good to cross post
threads.

Oh come on Charlie. We can all quit anytime we want. We, er, just don't
want to. At least that's our story and we're sticking to it...
