Capping it off

      A unique touch
I plan on creating is custom made rose-bronze screw caps.   These will cover all the exposed screw heads on the boat.   There shouldn't be many.   The idea started while trying to come up with custom screw caps for the steering wheel.   Here I started with a chunk of carving wax on the lathe and ended up with a nicely shaped disc.   Next I will use my less than adequate artistic skills to attempt carving an anchor in the face of it.   I have a betting pool going to see how many discs I have to lathe before I get one carved to my satisfaction.
