First time posting on LJ.
This is the second Oak rattle I have made. It’s for a work friend’s baby girl, Gabby.
I used Red Oak and sealed with Olive Oil.
The slightly longer back story is I turned this on Jet 42inch Lathe that sat untouched in the shop at work until I decided to give turning a shot. A captured ring rattle seemed to be a great exercise and fun project. It is becoming a go-to for gifts.
Now it’s time to figure out how to sharpen the tools.

It looks great. How does olive oil hold as a sealer? Sounds like a good idea for baby stuff.

It’s a beautiful rattle and it’s way better than plastic ones. The lucky baby will get lots of fun playing with it. Great job and welcome!
Have your say...
