Need 4ea. about 4" in diameter. Anyone got any suggestions? |

They take a god bit of sanding to get to be paint ready, but they are readily available. Also you might check Capital City Lumber, they have a large selection of wood balls in all different sizes and may have what you're wanting.

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.
Heard from a client..."If I had your tools and experience...I could do it myself"
