Captured Golf Balls




I know many other people have done this with square blocks of wood. 

However, I have never seen it done in the round using a lathe. 
Therefore, I thought I would take a shot at it.

After several R&D tests and
the typical learning curve, there was success.

Each is made from one piece of Hard Maple turned on the lathe.


A small router mounted on the lathe with a 1/4" cutter
is used to make the openings. 

The balls were inserted using woodturner's magic
followed by the finishing process.
