Cherry Baby Rattle
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
My daughter is expecting her first child in a few months. (Yes, my wife and I are going to be grandparents! We're understandably excited.) Some good friends hosted a baby shower for my daughter the other day and I managed to get this finished in time so this would be among the gifts she received. I “borrowed” the idea from a fellow Lumberjock — Jim Jakosh — thanks, Jim. I decided on cherry and used pretty much the same techniques that Jim described, although I did chuck up a round nose router bit in my drill press to round the bottoms of the holes I drilled with a forstner bit. It's about 5” long and 1-3/16” diameter with a 5/8” diameter stem. I finished it with a mixture of mineral oil and beeswax. And if it looks like I may turned through to the interior, that little dark spot you see in some of the pics is just a natural feature of the cherry.
