The spinning top as I remember
When I was a young kid we don't have lots of toy ,we play with marbles ,fish with cane pole and catch mostly small fish ,we play same game with wooden stick and spinning top
The spinning tops selling in store most are made of cheap scrap wood and small in diameter like 1 1/4-1 1/2 inch . We play with top by wrap it with a piece of string , swing it out and let it spin . Some kids have very good hand skill , they can carve it by hand or their big brother , their father carve for them . They're look nice but uneven so it doesn't spin well
There is a store carry hand turned top with good quality wood , short but wide about 2-2 1/4 in diameter , they only carry for a few months then don't have no more . I like these top very much
These aren't the best design , I just copy as I remember how it look

For young base ball player .The  bats at least 25 inches , your son may need longer bat so it needs bigger lathe . Mine can only do 18 inches max . May be small bat for jumping fish
