Capitals

The first practical thing I have done since taking to turning. I have a picket fence with some plain fence posts. Capitals were the answer to dress the fence up a little After some discussion with swmbo I came up with a design to suit our place in Port Elliot, South Australia.

I have used the lessons learned in class and created a template after making a prototype. Each capital is 170mm high and 85mm at the base. I made ten so it was good practice. Repetition really does help with tapers and spheres.

The photos tell the rest of the story.
