Baby Rattles
Allow me to introduce my line of Heirloom
Baby Rattles; a lifetime keepsake for
everyone.  With the birth of my youngest grandson I wanted to
create a unique rattle, something very different from what can
typically be found on the internet.  I decided to make a traditional
ball shaped rattle with a Victorian touch.  Here is my creation.











Rattles are approximately 8 inches long with the ball ends roughly
1 ¾ inches in diameter.   Ball ends are laminations of maple and
either walnut or mahogany.  Wood in the handle will vary
depending on what I have available, walnut, cherry, maple,
mahogany, or birch.  Noise makers in the balls are split peas
and/or dried peas.  Each rattle is finished in mineral oil and
beeswax.  Each rattle is unique, no two are alike.












                          
The price for the rattles is $20
each, with a basic shipping charge
of $7.  I will personalize the rattle by
burning in the baby’s name and
birth date for an additional charge
of $5.
