Did you mean "balls"? They look great. Looks like your working on making a model of the solar system with the different sizes.

Hi Dale,
my dictionary says bowls, thank's for correcting it's a nice comparison. Hope the earth is not the black one

Hi Harry, very nice looking balls. I remember years ago my old woodturning club made a challange to make balls. It is a lot harder than it looks. At that time I made more odd balls than balls.

Happy turnin'

Hi, i thought turning spheres is easyer. I needed about an hour for one ball. At the end i was happy and a little bit proud too.The difference of the diameters was only til 3/10 mm.
greetings Harry
