Default Carved my first Golf Ball

Hi all,

Here is my first attempt at carving a golf ball.

The shell was a bugger to get off. Definitely gonna 'Dremel' its hinder off next time.

I love how this rubber material carves! Nice clean cuts!

Any comments and especially critiques are welcomed.

Dandy looking first golf ball carving. I'd take wood over rubber any day but they are fun to carve now and again. Looks like a key chain - am I correct. If so, where did you get the accessories for attaching it to a golf ball?

Thanks all, for your comments.

Irishman, you are right, it is a key chain. The truth be told, I unscrewed it from on of my son's Star Wars action figures that they snap to their school backpack. I've stepped on it two out of the last three days so I figured it wouldn't be missed...

Nice job on the "Bogey Man" Bob.
Key chain is a great idea.
