Hi All,
She don't roll perfect...just like our big one...
Because the poles are more bulky and the equatorial empty space is sinuous. Perhaps ?
But so I saw her.
Yew, only polished with shavings dia= 56mm.
Friendly, Lionel.

Lionel, that is a really interesting turning! I assume it is two NE pieces turned to clamshell??

I envy you folks that can see a chunk of wood and see something unusual in it and then proceed to make it work well like this one.

Lionel - once again you have given us something that not only shows us your talent as a turner but shows us that imagination can be a wonderful thing! Thanks for sharing!

OK... this has been bugging me all day. I love this turning but it reminded me of something and I just couldn't place it. It just hit me... Pac Man!

I like it, Lionel. John and David are right... It is very reminiscent of Pac Man.
