Intermediate Woodturning Project: Pierced Ornament - page 2

Using a 3/16" drill bit I apply a "high tech" depth guage at about 1/8" and

drill randomly spaced holes around the sphere.

Now it is a matter of hollowing the sphere until

the holes are exposed leaving a uniform thickness of wood.

Once the sphere is hollowed, use a straight tool to make a series of cuts through the bottom and

into the glue block leaving a mortise for a later tenon. Part it off along the glue line.
