On to the Finials!

No scroll is complete without finials. The finials are the little handle things on either side of the scroll, that always look so cool in movies when they unfurl it.

To make them, I took four wooden discs, four wooden candle holders, and four wooden spheres. I glued them together and stained them with a dark wood stain.

After they had been allowed to set for a while, I wiped the finials dry with a paper towel and left the core stain still on the wood. I did this a couple of times.

Next - the finished product!
