Beech Ball

This solid ball is made from beech wood, and is just big enough to close your fingers around. Beech is a hardwood and is often light in colour. European Beech trees are commonly cultivated in Scandinavia, where these unpainted simple wooden shapes are still popular as children’s toys. Wooden beech balls this size are sold as craft supplies for making things like a doll’s head, or to soak in essential oils as a potpourri to scent your home. They are normally machine-carved on a lathe to achieve a regular sphere.
