Default Carving Softball Video
Terry Brasher did an article on carving softballs in the Fall 2011 issue of WCI. Does anyone know of a video, youtube or otherwise, showing this technique? I tried it and found it very difficult to keep my tools sharp enough to keep from tearing the polyurethane core while I carved. I bought several softballs at an end-on-season sale and would like to try carving another face. Thank you and Happy Holiday Carving!!!

I have carved several of these for my granddaughters team and the material just dulls your tools, you just have to strop alot.

Vicki, It's good to hear from you. I'd noticed that she kept a buffing wheel close by and wondered if she had used that to touch up her tools. You've always been a great teacher for me. Thank you!
