Default Golf Ball
I carved this little golf ball today to change things up a bit. I really like the way golf balls carve, I'll have to try some more of these.

Hope you like looking at these.

Alex

You have been busy lately Alex. It is great trying new things to carve isn't it? Ever tried a fresh Avocado seed? Very soft to begin with, easy to carve, then hardens nicely. I did a few with only the old Stanley knife. They are great for practising faces if you are lousy at humanity like me

Yep! except to get the cover off, I used a dremel. That knife is about the only knife I use.

Thanks for looking.

Josef, I'll have to try the avocado seed, another thing I want to try is beans.

Glad you liked it.
