Always like your pieces Vinny, this one looks very nice.
Now the critique, IMHO the finial is a bit wide or heavy, can't put my finger on it. The photo is a bit too dark at the base to see the bottom well

Don, Ed , thanks for commenting!
Ed, I have been working on the bulk of the finial, and this one is slimmer than my first ones....your critique is very valuable to me, thank you. I also agree the pic is not light balanced very well. I hope acquiring a ring flash will help?

Just go for it

Vinny, one thing to remember is that when I critique your pieces, I'm comparing them to your previous body of work. You set the bar high for yourself, I admire that.

Ed, it`s a strange thing with me,,,,I`ll overshoot my abilities an order to thrust my way "forward", then get frustrated about the time involved when I could be making things I already know how to make....And if I`m really lucky, I`ll be happy with the new piece for about 2 days. (maybe I should adjust my meds? just kidding, LOL)

Just go for it
