Cannon ball finials

[John Reeves]

I am making headboards (painted) and would like to use some balls or something like that on top of the 4x4 styles. Need 4ea. about 4" in diameter. Anyone got any suggestions?

I have used fence post finials on a bed I made a long time ago. They take a god bit of sanding to get to be paint ready, but they are readily available. Also you might check Capital City Lumber, they have a large selection of wood balls in all different sizes and may have what you're wanting.

Thanks Dave. I need to buy the material also so I might as well as buy everything from them.

If you have a lathe-turn them. If you count your time it is probably cheaper to buy them though:lol: .

Do not have a lathe.

Try to go to Michael's. They have a bunch of balls. (I can't believe I said that)

 

[John Reeves]

I can't either!!

This may be another option for you....
