Steve. Is there an online gallery folder anywhere where we can look at your balls, or assorted other carvings? I came here looking for some pics, but 1800 posts on, it's hard to find anything relevent in this thread.
Suggestion: edit your first post to add that URL, to save having to post & repost it for those of us who can't be arsed going through literally thousands of posts to find it.
You are teh Forum Baron Frankenstein of 2005. Let it die in peace. It's reached the high Victorian period (post 1858), and there's no future for it but the decline of Empire.
