Here is the latest palm sized HF with my developing, new style of finial. I ditched the long neck and mirrored the angle onto the base of the finial. The finial was changed by lowering the middle bulb and going even thinner, in between. This piece of wood was challenging to work, because it was end grain tear out crazy. I managed to get 99% of the outside sanded out but the inside isn't great.

Comments are always welcome. Thanks!
