George...my impression is that you were going after an apple look complete with stem, if so you have succeeded !!
If not, you still succeeded ...nice indeed.
 
Thank you Don.
I made the hollow form the daybefore yesterday it took me
2 3/4 Hrs.
Then for 4 hours i tried making differant lids and finials and just could not make anything i liked .Then i saw a perfume jar my wife had for christmas it was simular to this shape so that was it a finial was born.

Regards George
 
Hello Ed.

Thank you for your comment.

Regards George
