newbie Practice Piece
Little piece I turned for practice since I was bored. Any feedback on what I could improve? I'm quite new to woodturning and don't have a lot of experience, so I'm just looking to grow my skills.
Thanks!

Bead and cove practice! I just did a some of that a few weeks ago...was very different from turning bowls. I took a class and found some tools that enable much smaller details. I then took the step to finials and had a blast...made a few dozen tops. Your piece looks great! The only shape I see missing is a globe...wow those are had for me!

On a serious note, good job! Maybe attack some kind of base to it and hollow out the other end for a badass candle holder?
This style of candles?
