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:

Very good, David,

Here's another method. And here are two variations.

I like that you show how this can be done without plugins.

Yes, these are great tuts!

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