Looks cool what will you stuff the ball with?

Hows the pipe work for you? I know antler is really rough to inhale- does that happen with burning tobacco in antler too?

Great work by the way, the cars came out really nice looking.

I could be wrong, but that pipe looks to be made from spalted maple or possibly spalted alder. I think the antlers were there to aid in supporting the various items being photographed.

whiteeugene- took cover off an old one and reusing core. Thanks about the cars.

Holocene-- Shtonik was almost correct. It was made from Hackberry .

and the antlers where a prop.

After cataract surgery hope tooling gets better.

I'm really wanting to see the ball after it's all laced up. Reusing the old one is a great idea. I'm sure there are plenty of softballs with a sad and worn exteriors that would like to have a new skin. Easy donor for a pattern, too.
