I dare say there's a bit of truth in what you say. I'm only charging around £7.50 an hour - not even skilled labour rates. But I do love it. I'm fed up of carving the ball exteriors, though, having done ten so far and another fourteen to go. PH34R M1 PUN-5K1LL5

That's a skill well worth learning then, apparently =D Does it take you a lot of time? -- This signature is only a standin.

Also I think that you should get shots of them all, assembled and of the insides, and put them up on a web page. -- This signature is only a standin.

Yay =) I used to do wood carving but it's been a long time, I'm afraid. I even did a nice cat once, but it's long since been fed to the fire. -- This signature is only a standin.

Your balls are truly amazing! I too was wondering why you were calling the flat picture a ball. It all makes sense now. I am most impressed indeed.

Excuse me - I'd like to point out that I was in fact the first person to recognise that this is "the thread that wouldn't die".

Whilst I never doubted your carving skillz, it's only when you highlight the scale of your work that the talent is underlined. For a while I thought the balls were - erm... ball-sized and thus, while not doubting the artistic merit, I thought the detail was lacking. Seeing the scale now - they are quite skillfully detailed. Damned internet.
