[Woodworkers] Turning Help

[Stuart Johnson]

Gary,
Part them off and then hold by the tenon and complete rounding . They 
look fine just not complete.

> Hi All,
> I'm making a walnut cabinet for our bathroom, which is patterned after 
> a mid 1800's French Country Pine Nightstand. It has bun feet. I've 
> turned 4 for the new piece, but am not exactly happy with them. When 
> Turning the bun or ball part, it is difficult for me to get them ball 
> shaped. I turned a cylinder a tad larger than the finished diameter of 
> the bun. Then I marked the bun off in thirds, and started turning. 
> Starting from the middle working my way down to the ends. I used a 
> 1/2" skew and 1/4" thumbnail gouge.
> Pictures attached. The first picture is the original cabinet and the 
> second is one of the feet that I turned.
> Any advice is greatly appreciated.
> Thanks
