Carved Bowling Ball in Shape of Skull

A strike, a spare, and a very fixed grin.

This carved bowling ball in the shape of a skull is resin. Bowling balls have been made of resin and other polymers for decades, and their marbled color comes from pigments swirled through the pour. Here swirls of blue, red and white survive across the crown and jaw, while the rest has been carved away into a pale, carefully modeled skull. The eye sockets are deep, the nasal cavity curls inward, and the front teeth still flash blue. It is 6 inches wide, 7.5 deep and 7.5 high.

Retired from the lanes, and taking it well.
