Default Goof Balls

Some more Goof Balls to add to the mix. Some of these will go towards door prizes for an up-coming fundraiser. The texture of the rubber varied with different types of golf balls which made some of the rubber break off in chunks in places. Anyway, this was a quick project. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Not an Arnold Palmer in sight, but great looking ...ummm...balls? No, all kidding aside, great looking carvings Patrick. I'm sure they will be greatly appreciated. Joe.

Thanks fella's. Carving these balls gets tedious sometimes so I'm always trying to think of some new wacky face to put on them. I may go with themes next time and see if they could sell in sets i.e. Big Bad Wolf and Three Little Pigs, Goldie Locks and the Three Bears, Seven Dwarfs and Snow White, and so on. I was hoping to see if anyone on the site took that approach. I will see how these ones are received at the fundraiser and determine then if I will carve some more of the little buggers. Now to mount them onto the golf tee and stands.
Patrick
