I just picked up a book on the history of toys this weekend. Turned out 
to be just the history of toys in Germany, but still pretty interesting. 
Anyway, lots of animals, men, and other figures were made with lathes 
like those Tor posted. They lathed the wood so that, when it was chopped 
into 1 to 2 inch sections, each section had the shape of a man, horse, 
or whatever.
