Hollow spheres

[VisExp]

Apparently I like making these spheres

Oak (I think), pecan and wild olive. All around 6" diameter.

Showoff...

Nice to see you posting again stranger:wink:
Like Constant, I love the stitches but the Wild Olive one is fantastic!!!:biggrin:

Keith, they are fantastic, and it's nice to see that I'm not the only one that gets stitched up.

Hi Keith, nice job, they all look great. I remember about 15 years ago after taking a class from David Ellsworth I was stuck on turning the Hollow spheres, they are fun. Keep turning, aloha.

very nicely done, though the olive is my favorite, they all have a great personality.

Those are sweet!

 

[markgum]

Excellant work.

It's what makes the world go "round"...nice shapes..pretty wood

 

[devowoodworking]

Awesome work Keith!

 

[Daniel]

Those look really good. The stitching also fits nicely for an "Odd" idea but I don't want to know what you went through to get it laced if that is a continuous piece of leather.

 

[Druid]

Really nice work Keith.

The Olive wood makes my palms sweat just thinking about turning it. I like them all. Russell

They are all very, very nice but the stitching in the pecan piece and the figure in the olive wood are gorgeous.

Thanks everyone

Chris now I'm jealous!

Daniel, it was a bit time consuming. It is just one continuous piece of leather. I used some of my parachute rigging tools to get it done. I had to do it twice. I was nearly finished the first time when I broke the piece of leather and had to pull it all out and start again

Terrific craftsmanship. I also love the olivewood sphere.

 

[Dan26]

Those are really cool!

 

[CSue]

Those are really gorgeous! Of course, having worked with stitching leather for a time, I love that Pecan with the stitches. But I really love the olive wood as well.

Wow!

 

[BRobbins629]

Nice stuff Keith. Love the look of the olive. One of my favorite woods when the pattern is right.

 

[Rcd567]

[khogan16]

[nava1uni]

Very, very nice. The olive is astonishing.

 

[MrPukaShell]

are you using some sort of jig or free hand? They are awesome and the leather really adds a nice touch. Thanks for sharing.

 

[SKEETERPROV]

are they hollowed out or drilled....

 

[altaciii]

Good looking globes, keith. How about a tutorial on how to? The olive rocks.
