Default Fun stuff inside those "shells".
Golf balls sure are a lot of fun, and I've only done nine of them! Anyone else enjoy doing these things?

I like golf balls easy to carve and no grain to worry about. Beware though make sure you dont leave them too long after you open them they will get like rocks if left too long.

Glad you all like them! And I think the sleeping weasel may be my favorite too. After all, that's one reason I took up carving, because no one ELSE out there would make any cute weaselly things for me to buy.

Oh, and you should know you made someone who had their wisdom teeth taken out a couple days ago feel better!
