Simple things like this are so often overlooked by turners in their race to produce giant bowls and items extrodinaire. A useful little insight to your methods. Thanks Tom
It did give a better view... I will probably do an up date on this one before too long. I am in the process of making 200+ of them for my new house and shop, and have changed tactics a bit. I do use a parting tool and calipers to size the middle part of the pull. I have even done a few face grain ones to get the figure of Lace wood and Birds Eye maple to show better. Still having too much fun...
+Rick Caron Lots of ways to do it... I just saw Ashley Harwood do a demo on how to turn the sea urchin shell ornaments. Really dainty finials. Her main tool is a 40/40 bevel/sweep gouge. To my way of thinking, it is kind of a cross between a detain gouge and a bowl gouge, so you can get in to tight spots. I am more comfortable with bowl gouges myself.

Thank you for making the second drawer pull.

Another very informative and enjoyable video Reed.
Take care

Hi Reed! Great demonstration, I loved the idea of turning them in the drill press :) Thanks for sharing! Cheers! Daniel
Very nice Reed, looks really good, take care Harry
Bowl gouges is the best way to turn small projects!!!
Simple but really nice. JimE
I used a bowl gouge for making spinning tops. Much easier
