That particular carving had a hairline crack which I backed with a slip of wood.  I believed it was an invisible repair, so I submitted a photo to the scrutiny of the possie, who were not able to agree on where the crack was, so I guessed it was OK and posted it off with a batch.  No comment was made and the ball is on exhibition with the rest of the series.

Thank you! See, Pete. That answers me question. The famous cracked ball with an invisible crack is on display with the other balls.

Nice work. Did you ever mention that it was cracked or just send it off? 11.5 years ago :O

Must check my History of Medical Illustration. Pretty sure it was a favorite of medieval barbers.

Well about time too. And I hope it's the serious fraud squad, not just the normal bunch.

It's the cracked ball squad, aka "Sweeney Todd". The best, the toughest.

They're waiting outside the hotel for me, cuffs in hand (I'm in Brum, doing my latest artfaggery with GreyHair: https://birminghamhippodrome.wordpress.com/category/birmingham-2/page/2/ ).  I will have to exit through the delivery entrance, as I so often do, John.

I feel whole. A huge gap in my life is filled.

And nice work BTW, but...prayer nuts? Who'd've thunk that?

Sorry, I posted to ALL before. I am guessing the answer is no since I got no reply?
 
  Did you ever see such a messed up situation in your whole life, son?

Soz Fixrbabe, I'm not familiar with him.  Of course, there were many excellent sculptors in the centuries prior to concrete & plastics.  Quite unusual to have a stone carver who was celebrated for woodcarving too: the skill set (and tools) don't have massive amounts of overlap.

What more do you know about him?
