Hand-Made Wooden Bowling Balls, 1960s France

About the Item

Hand made wooden bowling balls with thumb and finger grips carved out of the wood. Slightly varying size and patina for each ball as well as some being painted blue while others are in a natural wood. Amazing presence and depth that only gets better the more balls you add. Each ball is hand made of a dense solid wood and some have thin metal reinforcement around the grips. Would go beautifully on a coffee table or entry way in a bowl as a centerpiece or as a door stop. Great outdoors as well. Great piece of art. 14 available. Priced individually.
