Thanks Everyone,

It's kind of fun thinking about and experimenting with all the possibilities.

The way I see it we've only scratched the surface of what these little
Carving Machines can really do, it only takes a little imagination.

[Kenm810]

Thought while I was fooling around with Décor Carvings and Colors, --- I’d try a few of these.
The Wooden Balls are available at the Woodcraft Store, Rocklers and most Craft Stores.
Then use your CW Designer and a little imagination to carve a few different styles of Bases for them.
I use powered aniline dyes with alcohol to add the colors the wooden ball
before I finish them with a few coates of Clear Gloss Lacquer.

Made up some Photos as Samples

Ps. Can't afford a Crystal ball for one , -- but it would be neat

Drill a 3/4" center hole or smaller holes randomly and use it as a pencil holder.
Thous balls are really pretty.

Find me a way to carve the continents into one of those and I'll love it!

Since you mentioned the balls - this is something I am planning on making using the 2" wooden cubes instead of spheres...

Make a sled to hold 9 of those cubes firmly, then carve a pattern. Rotate all cubes and carve another pattern. Repeat until you have all 6 sides carved. Instant puzzle! I have seen these painted and with photos glued to them, I think carving would be a nice option.

Hi hilda,

Those are 3" and 4" Maple Wooden Balls that I can buy unfinished locally,
$2.29 and $7.99. I've seen them in Birch, Maple, Pine, and Oak at a few web sites online.
I found at least for me it was cheaper to buy them than to make them.
But I'm sure someone has probably already figured how to make them in layers in designer,
and just glued the the layers together.
