Default Another Ball in a Cage
I just finished with my 2nd Ball in a Cage. The first one was carved out of 1 1/2 inch square pine stock. This one was carved out of 3/4 inch square basswood. I went to smaller size for the challenge. I do love doing them. Who knows what I may come up with next. Hope you enjoy it.

Hey,
No, not yet, been thinking about it though. My dad works on a golf course, has plenty of golf balls, may have to get some and see what I can do. How do you get the covers off of them?
