Last week, I got the urge to turn something round....not just a bowl, platter, pen or spindle, but something round. So, here is the result.....spheres!
These are sanded but not finished yet as some of these may see some surface embellishment.

Okay, Okay........thanks....I think....:rolleyes: for the laughs! My, My how fast things can go south!:eek:

I do appreciate the likes and compliments!
These were a good skill building exercise and makes one strive to do the best they can.

Pete and all, The small maple sphere is 1.5", a few in the 2" range and the largest is 2.75". I am digging around the shop looking for some larger dry stock to turn a few more.
These included maple, ambrosia maple, sycamore, walnut, colorwood, red oak and one mystery wood.
All were hand turned. The sphere cutting jigs were just too expensive for just a few uses.

That would be a pretty cool project, making planets/solar sys from wood!! You'd have to match the wood with the planet colors and such... (not that I'm going to do it... but YOU could!)

Seriously, nice, quite pleasing to look at!
