Default Golf ball attempts
Hey all, I had to get two vehicles inspected the other day so I knew I would have time to kill. With our emissions inspections, each car takes approx. 30 minutes to inspect, so I knew I had an hour. Great carving time!!! I had earlier removed the covers from two golf balls, so I figured now was a good time. This is my first attempt at golf ball carving. Though I don't primarily carve in flat plane, I found it a great method for carving these little characters. The smiling guy is a little less flat plane but you can stilll see it. The granny is definitely more flat plane. Love to know what you think.

Mark
