Baxter, while you did an excellent job on the pedestal and finial, I think this form stands on its own quite well! And, that would be my choice given the options. Nice work!!

always listen to your wife , Baxter hehe i tend to agree with her on this one

Wise man Don!

I had a similar problem on a re-turn recently. The tenon was a tad too small for the 50mm jaws by the time I got it round again. I ended up using my G3 with the 45mm spigot jaws. Even though the jaws are not dovetailed, they held just fine on a ~1/4" long dovetail-cut tenon.

Thanks Jim, I will check out the spigot jaws.

Thanks John. My first thought on a pedestal for this piece was actually a "different option". Something with a wider top and bottom and just a smooth curve in between. Habits got the best of me so went with what I had done before. Not much of an out of the box thinker.

Baxter; I have done a few bowl and such expecting to have warping. Sized the tenon larger then usual allowing it to be returned to a smaller size that would still fit my jaws. Allan

Nice work Baxter, and I think you know my preference ;-)), it doesn't need any distractions ;-)))
