Canadian-based designer Eric Quebral has designed and created a wood effect soccer ball that has been pieced together with various designs and styles of wood.
The beautiful wooden soccer ball is for Paint F.C, which is a collaborative project that brings together different art directors and designers to "create limited edition footballs with unique designs," according to the project's website. This particular soccer ball by Eric Quebral happens to be made of wood, but others take inspiration from things like Japan's Harajuku girls or New York's street graffiti.
