After turning an eight point star inspired a few weeks ago, I had a another thought about how to turn a star yet another way. I was not sure it could be successful. However, I decided to try.
Previously I have:
- Turned a sphere and added finials;
- Turned a cube into a star using a specific, custom jig;
- Turned a cube into a star using a pen mandrel centered on faces, then adding finials;
- Turned a cube into a star using a pen mandrel centered on faces but with much deeper coves, then adding finials;
- And now, turn a cube into a star using the corners of the cube. Could I add finials???
I am now wondering where else my star quest can go.

What do you think about the differences in the process? Which do you prefer?
Enjoy.
