Boy that is a great ornament. I am always amazed at folks that have taken the time to learn how to turn a real sphere! I can only muster the right half (while on the lathe). The left half ends up getting oblonged!

I could easily see a tree covered in these or a variation of these. Great job.

Scott, if you ever get a chance to see a Jerry Kermode demo, he teaches a method for hand cutting spheres.
Me, I made a jig...

That is really neat! The circle jig is almost as cool as the ornament!

Great looking ornament Larry. Like how you got the pattern . Seen the video on Facebook and you made it look easier than I first thought. Did you make your jig from plans?

I saw this ornament on another site earlier and thought it was incredible. It is incredible. It should be a keepsake for sure.

Your selling plans for a pen press, where are the plans for your Sphere cutting jig? I'd buy! Great looking ornament! And sweet music on the video
