The ball is hollow to reduce weight on the tree limbs. A solid ball of maple
burl, for example, is going to provide a lot of weight. I plan to do a video
of these but it will be a bit in the making. Positioning the camera is a
bear. When I set up the shop it was mostly for turning, a little for flat
work, and not at all for photography or videography. Shortsighted or what,
eh?
