I know what it is but I can't help but make the comment that with the color and large bands makes the piece actually look like a real wood sphere.  Very pretty

Wow, Jhon, that's beautiful!  I agree with Steve, it does look like real wood.  Well done.   :icon_sunny:

Love that texture and colors...looks like cedar with a hint of burled maple; all brought to a most excellent finish.
