Below- Step by step instruction

The above sphere took 45 minutes to make using these methods (including photography).

My system is a compilation of the following 3 techniques-
1. The Old Japanese ā€œCarve 3 Hoopsā€ technique.
2. The ā€œMake an 18 sided shapeā€ technique.
3. Junichiā€™s ā€œFinish with the sphere scratchy boardā€ technique.
