Here are pictures of a drop point beam finial carving. A post and beam
addition was being built in New Hampshire and the center beam, where
all the supporting beams came together, was requested to have a
carved finial on the bottom point. The beam was 10" x 10" x 10 ft long
and it was delivered ready to install. Here are some of my design
submissions and #21 was the chosen design for me to carve.
Here are the results:
The wood was Port Orford cedar broght in from Port Orford, Oregon.
To keep the wood from drying too fast and checking I
had to keep the end I was working on wrapped a wet towels.
