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

What do the balls with the flat carvings look like?

I can't imagine the shape overall.

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.

That's a skill well worth learning then, apparently =D Does it take you a lot of time?

Also I think that you should get shots of them all, assembled and of the insides, and put them up on a web page.

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.

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.

Right, so. Could anyone please explain to me about how big a 50p piece is? Are we talking a dime? A nickel? Perhaps even a quarter? American money here people, if you please.
