The soccer ball is standard size (8.75″ diameter).  It’s made from 20 hexagons of lacewood, and 12 pentagons of wenge.  The photoshopped image of a soccer player doing a header is tongue-in-cheek!

The baseball is also standard size.  A friend, the father-in-law of a famous professional baseball player, challenged me to see if I could build one.  Choosing ash wood, I used the CNC router to build two pieces that fit together.  This was then turned on a lathe.  The inlaid stitches (all 108 of them!) were individually inlaid using bloodwood.  The MLB logo was also a challenge due to the small size and also being done on a curved surface.  It uses bloodwood and ebony.
