I did some googling on how to create a sphere and using a deceptively simple method of turning it on each of its three-axis it comes out perfectly. It was made a little tricky by having a great big hole through the middle and so I couldn&#8217;t hold it easily on the lathe and had to make very delicate cuts. <br>I used a modified bit of garden hose adaptor to create a small pressure\/cup mount on the lathe, bit of a hack but it worked. After sanding smooth, it was given a few coats of lacquer for a hard glossy finish. Pretty happy with the end result. A nice combination of natural and geometric shapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2049\" height=\"1154\"
