Have any of the Pirates prop fans thought of or tried making Ragetti's wooden eye?
Pirates prop idea...

i made one a while back from a wooden "craft sphere" they sell in bags at wal mart and michaels. i forget the size i used, but it was a little bigger than a quarter (they had over and way under). neat fact, the average human eye diameter is the size of a quarter 
white acrylic wash a few times, and some hand painting for the iris, and my friend had something to go with his coin.
the bonus to this is while its hard to find 100% round spheres, the ones i picked up had a small hole in the back, which helped make displaying it a lot easier.
total cost was something like 5$.

There's some decent imagery of the contact lens they used on one of the features on the DVD.

omg. I went to walmart after the movie and thought about making the eye. I even found the right size 1 1/4" but they are not fully round so am still checking out craft stores. I did however start the base for the eye to look like a plank from the ship. I also though about the 97 cent apples to display with it. Just cheap props that everyone can make.

Thanks for sharing the pic D6 :thumbsup
This is such an obvious choice for a home made prop replica, I can't imagine why it never occured to me take a shot at it before reading this thread.

Found some spheres at Michael's. Will have to crank this out.
Thanks for this nice idea . Tomorrow we have here in Germany the premier of PotC and a friend of mine has worked for over a year on his Jack Sparrow costume (incl. extremely not-shaving for having the beard and the locks .) and this is very nice little present for him .
Here is it including "coffee-weathering"
