Another globe I made a few years ago. This one is made of cherry with dyed oceans and pyrographed country, state, and continental boundaries. Constructed with polyhedral construction as 60 hexagons, and 12 pentagons. It was way too big to fit on my old Rockwell lathe, so I made a special...
A 2.7" diameter 32 piece sphere made with 20 walnut hexagons, and 12 maple pentagons. Each piece was cut on table saw using a jig I designed. It was glued together all at once using long open time glue, stretch-wrap, and then a large rubber band as a clamp. After gluing, I turned it on my...
A while back I was researching how to turn a sphere and if I needed a jig. I came across a video where a compass was used to draw a bunch of circles and where ever two circles intersected a hole was drilled. Does anyone recall this video? Please send me a link.
A group of boxes I made for my wife and children. The front and right ones were inspired by the vision of a U.S. sailor wearing a "Dixie Cup" hat and dungarees. The left one is my first attempt at a sphere box and the back my first attempt at a deep box. They vary in size from...

The planet and rings are aromatic cedar. The base and polar cap is Cocobolo. It's about 7 inches tall and 6 inches in diameter. This was my first try to turn a sphere, and I wanted to make something for my uncle for getting me hooked on astronomy.
Dimensions: 3.25"diameter
From the same log as Mulberry Lace and others.
This was a lesson on turning a sphere, which is much harder than you would think. Your eye has a hard time seeing a perfect sphere. This was another webcam project.
I left this piece heavy so it could be used...
