I am turning two ball feet which will be mounted under a flat bracketed foot on a sideboard built in a period style. The material is cherry. The ball portion is 4.24 in diameter, and 3.25 in height. The bottom of the ball sits on the floor; the top has about 1.5 in. of detail at a diameter of 1.625, +/-, plus 1.25 in. of 1.125 diameter stock for mounting in the flat bracket. The question is — will it be easier/better to turn with the bottom of the ball oriented towards the headstock or the tailstock of the lathe? I am not the most experienced turner, and so will appreciate a bit of guidance. Thanks.
