<DIV>Hi All,</DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV>Pictures attached. The first picture is the original cabinet and
the second is one of the feet that I turned.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Any advice is greatly appreciated.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks</DIV>
