Summerhouse finials and other garden buildings
From an initial acorn finial with base made for my own summerhouse, we made hundreds of finials over a period of 8 years. We are currently taking a break from making finials, to concentrate on other projects. We have contacted three fellow woodturners who are happy to take orders for summerhouse finials. For their contact details, see the summerhouse finials guide page.
WE HAVE STOPPED MAKING FINIALS. Check the finial guide for alternatives
The first acorn finial. The acorn was pine, and lasted about 5 years. The base is cypress, and is still going strong.
