Neat! How did you get the golf ball in there?

Hi Natalie -- Here is a quick rundown. Get a saucepan on the stove and bring some water up to around 200 degrees. Drop the piece in and start a timer. 10 min then push the ball into place. Cool/Sand/Finish. Hope that helps!

That's clever! Thanks for the explanation!

This is such a clever way to replicate an old whittlers trick! Great idea.
