Default a few golf balls
I've been busy this week with golf balls.
This is some of what I got accomplished.
Sometimes I think they are easier to carve than wood,
but sometimes soft spots in wood is a welcome relief to
these old arthritic joints.
The football helmet will be painted with OSU logo. It was a practice piece for one I doing that will have OU on it.
Hope you enjoy the pics. Let me know.
Michael

I think they came out great. My son is a big bears fan and I tried making a helmet in the front from the cut off outer layer but it never looked right. Would you mind if I attempted to copy yours ?

Good job Michael. Add some colour and they will look even better.

Thanks, everyone for your kind comments.
Robert, imitation is the best form of flattery. By all means, go for it.
I did add color to the helmet, and have done a second one, and
I already have someone wanting 2 more.
