I am in the process of making trophys for a couple of fantasy football
leagues. I've got some balls turned but am having a problem in figuring out how to mount them on bases. I've thought about trying to shape the top of the center piece to fit the ball, but found that to be near impossible for me. Any help in this area would be deeply appreciated. I think that the balls come out looking pretty good. Even found a way to put laces in them. I have posted 2 pictures in abpw. Jim |

Can't wait to see the pic's but as far as mounting them why don't you go to a sports store and get one of those plastic thingy's they use for kick-offs and see if you can replicate it is wood it wood be the proper angle to display the ball.

How about mounting it between 3 pieces of round brass rod angle drilled
into the base of the trophy, then the ball sits between them loose on its side (at an angle, maybe 45º). Most craft and hobby shops carry the rods, brass, aluminum etc pretty cheap.
