Looking pretty good. I think your finial might work even better with an element at the bottom that would give it an illusion of separation from the base of it. I'm thinking a sharp edge that would give the illusion of the base of the chess piece just before the base of the finial. Just a thought. Means very little really. 8-)
I just love the color & grain of this piece!
