BOWLING BALLS.
Making Them Is Slow Work, With
Long Waits Between Each Procett.
A howling bull looks us if it were
easy to make, yet its manufacture
involves u long process covering a
period of three days. The actual
tiny put upon it is only a matter
of three hours, but the work is slow
and requires long waits between
each step toward completion. A
log free from knots and cracks is
first cut into pieces a trifle larger
than the diameter of the ball after
it is finished. This allows for two
little projections on either side call
ed "hits," where the clamps of the
lathe hold the block of wood while
revolving at lightning speed under
the keen edged tool cutting into the
hard liber like a sharp knife slicing
a fresh cheese.
This preliminary turning and
trimming occupy only a few min
utes, when the block is shaved and
pared down to the required size.
The hits then are cut oil' and the
whole thing sandpapered. A coat of
shellac is applied, and the ball is put
one side to dry. It then gets an
other sandpapering. . This is no
sooner done than the workman
again carefully applies the shellac
brush. When the shellac dries the
second time the surface is rubbed
with oil. The work doesn't stop
then, for the moment the oil has
dried the ball gets another vigorous
sandpapering. Then for the last
time it gets more shellac. When
thoroughly dry -the sphere is ready
for the two holes to be cut for the
bowler's thumb and index finger.
TJie lust 6tago of the laborious proc
ess is the polishing, which gives the
ball the appearance it has when it
reposes on the rack waiting to be
sent crashing down the alley.
.. Sometimes there is a considerable
waste in cutting up the logs because
of cracks and fissures in the wood.
On this account an ordinary sized
log may yield only one block sound
enough to put on the turning lathe,
while it ought to make six or seven.
The life of the average bowling ball
is about two years. The best balls
cost $5 or $6, while the cheapest
scale down near the dollar mark.
