Bowling Ball Bonanza!!!

17 years ago

We were visiting friends yesterday. They are in the process of making a pond/waterfall in their backyard & I mentioned that I had made a couple of gazing balls from bowling balls. She asked if I wanted some--they had some in the storage room I could have. I had forgotten they used to be professional bowlers for a while, but gave it up. I thought she would have a couple of balls, but she kept bringing out more and more. I ended up with 18!!! I don't know if I'll ever get that many done!!! I'm going to make one for them for sure....

Wow...that's great!!

A couple of years ago, I got a whole slew of them from a bowling alley. My problem was...there were so many of them...where was I going to put them!! I put them in a couple of recycle containers. Moving those containers is a real challenge...they're so heavy!!

Have fun creating!!

Wow! what a haul!! excellent! I got about 5 from a man off of Freecycle a bit ago, I'm wanting to cut them in half and decorate both sides, and make a little walkway with them on either side. But I'm stumped on how to cut them in half without destroying one side. Any ideas?

I've seen BB's cut in half, but they can have many different kinds of cores. They're not all solid.
