Cut the ball from one piece of wood, the cage from another piece. Now let the cage soak in water to soften it up and the bars will be able to bend a bit more. It doesn't have to bend much since the ball must fit on the inside so once soaked, push the ball inside with a little force. Then let it all get dry again. Solution is easier than you think.

How? Well, cut the ball from a second piece of wood. Then cut the ball in half and put both halves through the opening. Within the box, glue both halves together again, making sure that you leave no marks. A little brush-up on the glued area and people won't even notice it. Thus: cut the ball, not the box! :-) Well, it could be created in two parts. How? Well, cut the ball from a second piece of wood. Then cut the ball in half and put both halves through the opening.

I've made a few of these, along with the "ring on a bar" and wooden chains, all from a single piece of wood. It's actually pretty easy with a good sharp carving knife.

He also made lamps with the same kind of ball-in-box feature. It's neat looking but it's not AMAZING! My great-grandpa carved those all the time.

Yes, it's carved from a single block of pine. You have to be careful not to carve the ball too small, or it will fall out. I also made the wooden chain, same concept. Lots of fun, takes a wood carving knife and some patience. I made one of these in less than a week as an Adult Scout Leader at a Boy Scout Camp a few years ago.
