Baby / toddler rattler

First attempt at making a “box” this small… I initially tried to make the rattle out of two pieces: the handle, and a hollowed-out rattle, except that I just couldn’t get the knack of hollowing out something so small. I eventually just made everything out of one piece, then cut the ‘bulb’ in half and hollowed each half with a forstner bit and just glued that sucker back together! I grabbed a few pebbles from outside for the rattling, sanded down to 400 grit and sealed with mineral oil.

It looks kinda rough, but I’m happy and ready for the final draft!
