I'm gonna cut right to the chase here, if that's ok...I'm looking for spheres! Or, more aptly, someone who loves to make spheres! I do personally love to make spheres, but I am a beginner and have a big project in mind and looking for help in amassing a supply. These spheres I seek need to be solid wood (made from local sustainably salvaged wood) and between 8"-16" in diameter.
A bit about myself: I am an artist / illustrator / painter by education and trade and recently discovered that my preferable "canvas" is a 3 dimensional, solid wood surface (with beautiful grains!). I just bought my own lathe (Jet 1221VS 12") and instantly fell in love with woodturning (might be in my genes, as my grandfather worked a lathe), but the thing is, is that it takes a long time to make as many as I'd like and thought I'd try to recruit some help...So, that's why I'm here, for the most part, to be honest. And of course, I'm also here to learn more about woodturning in general.
If this project at all interests you, send me a message and I can explain more...I look forward to getting to know you, the community, and the world of woodturning!
Thank you.
