i'll pay or trade wood for turned spheres out of my wood

[vegas urban lumber]

i have some figured eucalyptus, dry, that i would like some approximately 2" to 3" spheres turned out of. they would need to be fairly well sanded but i'll do the finish. i am willing to pay shipping both ways and pay for the turnings or trade wood for the turnings. attached are some blanks pictures

I can do it if no one else is willing, but am pretty busy these days, might take a while.....

Same story with me... happy to do it, but it’s unlikely to happen fast.

Build a sphere jig, they seem fairly simple

@Mlyle No plans yet. Have seen ones like @jasonb posted. Hoping to build one someday. Would be useful for lots of projects.

@vegas urban lumber any takers yet? If not my schedule is clearing up and should be able to help if still needed.

How about I am make them up and if you are happy, just send some wood of your choosing in return?

 

[Mlyle]

how many do you need?

 

[Mlyle]

20 to 30 even with a jig that will take some time. When are these needed by?

 

[vegas urban lumber]

no deadline

 

[Mlyle]

send me enough to make two spheres.....

a 4 in sphere would have to be at least 6.5 x 6.5

a 3" sphere would need to be 5 .5 x 5.5 i think...

 

[Mlyle]

These were the last 2 spheres I turned
