Finger Tops

I challenged classic woodturning. It is Finger Tops.
1.First, I made the finger top that stand on one's head.I reduce material to the globular.The axis goes out a little.And I pull out a globular inside,about 2/3.
2.I exchange chuck. And, I paints on a globular part. It seems to be an eyeball.
3.It stood on one's head easily when I turned the top. I have the memory which played in the childhood with this.
4.Second, I made a finger top of the European style.I put the pattern with chatter tool of making by oneself.
5.I undercoat in white.After it dries, I sanding it again.
6.I paints vividly in red, yellow, green and blue. This process lower a turn.
7.I turns inside out and I paints it.
8.I used a water enamel coating.
I think that the design of the finger tops is difficult.I will challenge a new design.
