Fantasy Football Trophy

[cbatzi01]

I decided to make an official Fantasy Football trophy this year that will be "presented" during the Super Bowl. This was a fun project, and a good opportunity to use some other turning skills.

The ball is walnut with maple laces. The stand is walnut with curly maple. All finished with wipe-on poly.

That is pretty cool. Trying to figure how large it is??? Did you do that in one piece and then cut the gooves in later??? Great job.

Hi,
Thanks for the comments. The ball is a 9/16 scale, so it is about 8" end to end. The ball blank is 2 thick pieces glued together. I carved the seams with a razor and needle files. One of the seams covers the glue joint, so it is nearly invisible.
