How do I get rid of this obsession? The character I am finding in some of the wood chunks I used to discard is incredible.

That's some beautiful work. Rather than get rid of the obsession, enjoy the ride!!!

Those look great, Mike. Just consider your obsession as therapy.

There may be a spheroholics chapter near you. I'm a charter member.
Nice spheres. My favorite is the spalted one toward the end.
Best,
Dave

Feed the obsession! Beautiful work. It would be a moral transgression to quit.
Perhaps you could stop long enough to make some display stands.
I use ebony to make little cups to show off spheres and eggs:

The black doesn't detract from the color/figure of the wood. I made a variety, about the same diameter but different heights for variety.

Are you using a sphere turning jig to make those?

I'm using a Vermec Jig. Kinda of an expensive purchase, but I'm enjoying the ride!!!
