Fig. 89. Tapered Spindle.

This is a form often used in architectural work. The square part of this piece is the lower end or base.

First turn the curve at the square end and shape the round part as shown in Fig. 90. Smooth the larger end of the cylindrical part and turn the cavetto, which is next to the base

(Fig. 91).

In finishing this curve, hold the 1/2-inch gouge as shown in Fig. 92. The gouge is rolled very much to the right, so that it will cut square up to the end of the long curve. The lower end of the long curve is turned with a skew chisel the same as in turning a bead (Fig. 23). After the piece has been worked to the shape shown in Fig. 91, a part of the top is turned (Fig. 93). After turning the bead and the straight portion at the extreme top, shape the piece as shown in
