I am not sure how this came to mind. Maybe by seeing some photos at AAW.

Five spheres: walnut, sweet gum, cherry, ash, and olive. I did not want to fix the spheres in a permanent position. I chose to connect them with short 1/4″ dowels. Solid spheres would be too heavy so I planned to hollow them.

I glued up the wood but the very center joint was a paper joint. A paper joint is like all the others except for a sheet of plain paper between the two glued surfaces.

All are finished with shellac friction polish.
