Hello, I am a professional woodworker at Blowing Rock Woodworks in Deep Gap, NC. We build custom furniture, mostly slab tables. Been doing that about 7 years now. First career was in print publishing as a Designer/Art Director. Did that for 26 years. I have always been an artist, drawing, sculpting, etc. Did an occasional wood project over the years, but didn't really get into it until 2013. I have a gallery of personal projects here: Fractured Forest Woodworks
The router is the bane of my existence. LOL! It can do wonders as well as a ton of damage, ruining an entire project, in the blink of an eye. I am the only guy at the furniture shop who uses the thing. The other guys are too scared of it! So, while I am getting better with it, I have a ways to go.
That brings me to me the project question. I am trying to restore and old barometer. It's needs a top/cap like the one I have attached. I've been studying it for quite a while now, but just can't wrap my head around what profiles I need to reproduce one like the sample. I don't need it to be an exact match to the sample. Close is good enough in this case. I know it's multiple profiles, but how many and where do I start?
Guidance is appreciated. Thank you.
