https://mikesinventions.etsy.com I show you how I designed and made a spherical wooden ornament on the lathe. I first cut some maple and walnut to 3/4" then glued it up before cutting out my diamonds on the miter saw. After that, I glued some pieces on either side of my diamonds before turning it spherical on the lathe. Once it was close, I make some grippers with a forstner bit and rotated my ornament 90 degrees and turned it close to round. I finished it off with a sander and shined it up with some paraffin wax. I screwed an eyelet in it and hung it on the tree. This was my most complex segmented turning project to date, and I'm really happy with the way it turned out. Give it a try!
