Cardboard Progress

This has been quite harder than I first thought it would be.  I am now on my 3rd working idea for this project and the first one which seems is going to work out. 

My latest idea it this, make a layered cylinder of laminated cardboard,


 I will then saw a rough spherical shape into the cardboard using an electric saw.  


Once my ball had been formed I would sand using an electric sander to make a more perfect shape.


 with this done I will drill holes to mimic those found on a real sweetgum ball and carve spicks and a stem out of cardboard which I will attach using wood glue.  So far, I am to the sanded sphere stage.
