Have you ever tried making a hybrid sphere on your lathe? This is something I plan to try in retirement. I saw some huge ones for sale in a fancy jewellery shop in France, they looked absolutely amazing.
I don't know the ins and outs, but daughter number 3's fellas dad hand makes coffee tables like that hybrid sphere, part wood, part resin. They look super.
Copy turning brings back memories of work, metal not wood, one of the jobs we used to get as fitters was making reverse patterns out of brass sheet, usually of valve heads so our machinists could produce the new valve head exactly to profile, it was nice to get a compliment off the machinist of the quality of the pattern.
