This little piece of cedar was fished out of the trash just to have something to fiddle with and this is what came from it. (I am going to quit throwing away even the smallest scraps!) It's 2 1/4" high without the stopper and light as a feather. The stopper is walnut and fits with a nice little "pop". I made a couple of various sizes of stopper but since I decided to make it a stopper rather than a finial I decided on the one with the medium sized "flame" rather than the more delicate skinny one. There is no finish yet other than a little walnut gel stain on the stopper. Not sure what I am going to use on it, if anything. The bark inclusion was stabilized with CA. I probably will make some more variations on the stopper just to try.
