4 1/2 inch Fluted Bun

What is the difference in appearance of the fluted bun foot versus the non-fluted bun foot? What style does one evoke over the other? Both are good questions. It has been my experience that some items that are very ornate may use the 4 1/2" Fluted Bun Foot because it mirrors the beauty and elegance of the piece. Conversely, I have seen some very ornate items that use the simple bun with no fluting. You know why? The designers feel that the fluted bun would take away from the elegance of the piece, so they don't want the focus to be on the bun feet. So, here's what I've concluded--use them, either fluted or non-fluted at your discretion. The only mistake you can make is not using of Osborne Wood Products' Bun Feet at all.
