My interpretation in Cherry of a popular toy, finished with EEE Ultrashine and paste wax, buffed on the lathe.
The jacks are about 6 1/2" x 6 1/2" x 6 1/2" (165mm x 165mm x 165mm) with partially-hollow stems. The stems are secured on the legs of 3-piece burrs of interlocked dowels, also of cherry.
The ball is about 6 1/4" (160mm), hollow, of 252 segments (253 if the central pole is included, or 254 if its ends are counted separately.
The entire set came from a log about 9.5" diameter x about 12" long, cut into squares (to assist alignment of the leg miters), and the remnants were further cut to make the dowels and the segments.
C&C welcome
