Spheres and more spheres

[MartinPens]

Enjoying turning spheres. Thanks to an IAP member who sold me his Soren Berger sphere caliper. Sure makes it easy.
The glossy sphere is olive wood from a tree I cut down a decade ago.

Loving these and wondering how much work it'll take to fit my lathe for sphere turning!

Anybody have a lead on hybrid blanks for spheres?

Very nice. The one on the left front corner first pic looks like it is a copy of Mars or one of the other planets (sorry, not an astronomer). Nice job!
