Great-looking golf ball :-) When you do big, inset eyes like this do you use a knife or some other tool? They look fantastic!

You did two good jobs?? 1st you carved a "neat" looking golf ball and the other one is you gave it to your friend!!

Very nice work on both accounts.

Thanks everyOne for the flowers...

Larry the eyes;
First I take a 7mm #9 gouge and make sockets then I draw the eyes, next I use a 1/4" vee tool and go around the drawn line(s). Then I take a knive and go all around the inside of the vee tool marks straight in and then in the corners of the eyes I take out V shaped chunks, next I go around with the knife and shape the eye and lastly I make the eye lids with the same vee tool....
