Why don’t you make little wooden balls, rings, diabolos or chainsaws?
Decent little wooden balls are difficult to make by hand – not, in itself, a bad thing – but doing this in quantity simply isn’t worth it: cheap (and remarkably spherical) little wooden balls are widely available in craft shops. Frank Radtke’s House of Fakini used to sell little silicone balls for a magic trick, but that was a long time ago. Little wooden rings would be doable, but I don’t think they leave much room for creative variations; I’ve seen plastic curtain rings that are about the right size, and would serve. Little wooden diabolos would be very tricky to make – not, in itself, a bad thing – but don’t ask me again until I’ve made a few hundred kendamas. Chainsaws are not solids of rotation (as we used to say in calculus class), and hence not well-suited to fabrication by turning.
