Before this goes any farther I think we should establish whether he is carving a golfball or carving a golfball.

Neither Lynn, It is Golf Balls. Arthists in the fingers makes it golfballs.
I do know that at my buddy's home, just off the number 3 tee of a golf Course, the golfers hated it when we would go plinking in his back yard. Seems they only found Bits and pieces of their gold balls or would jump at the sounds of a rifle going off.
However, they did redesign the Golf course and now there is no Number 3 Tee by his house. Man they take the fun out of plinking. But then, I never did figure out how to cook them. They were aleays hard.
Ah the good old days when we entertained ourselves.

Try putting a roofing nail in a dremel. The heads are big and will make a clean cut for you. You will still need to use a screw driver or something to pry it off. I've used a burning tool to dress up the loose ends after you remove the ball cover.

A fellow told me he heats them in a micro wave and peals the skin off with needle nose pliers after scoring the shell with an exacto blade This is an example of his work

Those were done by a carver at the Gretna retreat. He uses an exacto blade instead of a standard chip carving knife This is my first shot at removing tthe shell (what an ugly color)

If you nuke the two piece golf balls I dont see a problem but what will happen if you try nuke a three piece with the liquid cores. Possible explosion in the microwave.
Just like to play safe!
