Nice work, Terry! What wood did you use and how tall is it?

Nice going on that. Took me three looks to finally get the idea from the pics. Really good work!

That is the coolest "ball in cage" I have ever seen!
I'd love to have the pattern, or better yet, a tutorial.

Thanks folks! I appreciate all your nice comments. The first time I carved this it was from a block of catalpa (or butternut--I'm not sure) but this one is carved from a basswood goose egg. The egg is about 3 1/2" tall.

Russ, I don't have a pattern. I kinda carve this one by the seat of my pants. But I did take a few pics as I went along to show Ken. They might help a bit and I will try to explain how I carved it.

I put a heavy coat of Howard Feed-N-Wax on it for a finish. It really perks up the basswood.

Thanks again for the kind words!
