Hello !

For the past two years, I had in mind to make a finial... So, this design of  a "gigantic" finial was in my thoughts and I was keeping it as a secret weapon for a possible masterpiece to be accepted Compagnon Couvreur (Master roofer in the guild Compagnon couvreur du devoir), then I thought that it would be good to make it right now.

I designed and conceived the work in a personal way; beyond the finished piece, I envisaged this work as a means to perfect my skills, which occupied me throughout the winter (between 100 and 150 hours).

A fantastic set of panoramic views of the most impressive city of Paris !
