Flame Finial

[davidheim1]

I recently completed a SketchUp model of a Governor Winthrop secretary, a piece of period furniture that features a carved flame finial at the center of the top. You can see the complete model in the 3D Warehouse by following this link:

I've also done a tutorial (my first) explaining my method for creating the flame carving. You can read it here, and I'd appreciate feedback of all types:

Thanks, all. Dave R's method has the advantage of being quick and requiring less cleanup at the end.
