Bowling balls in KC area

[Greg O'Sherwood]

I have 10 bowling balls that I spent about $2000 on back 8-10 years ago. I no longer bowl and attempted to sell these a few times, but apparently my hands are larger than those of men in this area, so no one who looked at them fit the span. They didn't want to pay for redrilling either, I guess.

So, I am considering cutting these up for pen blanks. I am looking for anyone in my area that has a large enough bandsaw to do this in exchange for about half of the blanks. I assume shipping them would be cost prohibitive.

Any other suggestions for them? Any takers?

If you don't find a bandsaw, get your chainsaw and cut them in two. The halves would cut in most benchtop band saws.

Do a search for threads by Bruce119. He showed how he cut bowling balls in one about two years ago.

Greg, also make sure all your insurance is up to date. Cutting something round and heavy, no matter what saw you use, can be dangerous.

You might want to . . .

You might want to check with Bruce119, I think he cuts bowling balls on a regular basis . .

If I'm wrong, my apologies . . .

Greg, after tonight i should say that i no longer bowl. but i did have knee surgery about three months ago so i'm going to keep trying for now.

Don' give it up if you enjoy it. I bowled within 3 months of having ACL surgery on both knees.
I quit because I got married and had a litter. No time.
