Your balls that started this thread rolling back in February seem to have been cut during the data black out :(

I'm just about finishing another, which I'll post as soon as I'm done.

Hey Mouse! Gabe & Gill are on their way now!

Just finished my fifth ball in record time. It's got two scenes of the German occupation.

The first is taken from a recruiting poster for the Legion of St. George, a legion of British Nazi soldiers recruited from the Channel Islands and from the ranks of prisoners of war. The Jerseyese don't like to admit this part of their history, but I felt the St. George reference made it directly relevant.

The second scene is of the German occupation of Gorey castle (where my balls will be on permanent display). One of the soldiers is chucking out of the window half of a much battered statue of St. Mary, who has already suffered the indignity of being built into a wall during the reformation.

My next might be the dragon one I've been saving up (NOT St. George, actually, but a Marian legend), full of action and gore and coils. Or one about a fraudulent priest. Either wouid be fun.

:-O

How much are you charging them for that kind of work? I wish I had some sort of something I needed done in wood, if I did I'd have you do it.

Bloody loads. I'm being paid £7,500 for the twelve. Though that's inclusive, so my research trip had to come out of it (about £300), and materials (only about £300, for musical instrument grade boxwood courtesy of Prince Charles - well, Highgrove estate, anyway), and blades (£150 and rising)

It will not die, as long as I have balls to offer my lovely friends.
