Thanks guys. This was a lot of work and a lot of fun. It is something for myself, for once, that I put on paper about a year ago and finally got to work on. I went thru several baseballs trying to get that leather to form right, but had to make many attempts at sewing my own to get it even close. Still needs work. This is something of a prototype that I hope to improve on later for a new one.
