Woodturning Off Center Bat and Ball

My first attempt at this piece turned out pretty good I think! Let me know if you agree
Many of the woods I use are from trees that are cleared for construction. This is wood that would otherwise be burned or end up in a landfill.
To me, it is exciting to find the hidden beauty in a chunk of wood. Even a very plain piece of wood offers design opportunities. When working with plain wood, I often enhance the wood by carving or burning. My carved and burned designs mimic textures and patterns found in nature.

    Here I am at the end. That's a super job. A lot of drama in there when the skew got close to the ball - I held my breath! Cheers Heather, that was most enjoyable.

    Better be ash or all my time in Little League was for naught ! I didn't see it until ~ 24:00 and it all clicked ! I am amazed with off center turns - this is a great design and execution for sure. And more than amazed, awed perhaps?, on how round the baseball is !!! Thanks for sharing Heather. Take care. -Mike

    Very cleaver. I would guess it is Ash. Taking the skew so near your ball had me on edge, glad no mishaps.

    I'm only half way through Heather but enjoying this a lot. What is the tool you start using at about 11:40? Perhaps I can't see it properly watching on my phone but it looks unusual to me...
