Best reward for my work (better than money!)

[Dave Peterson]

Last June, I made a baby rattle. My daughter-in-law was pregnant and Dexter was born Nov. 7. He is just old enough now to grasp and focus, and I got this photo from my son this past week. The baby rattle is made from Dogwood, sanded to 2000 grit. IF I put any finish on it, it was just walnut oil. I think I posted the rattle back in June 2013, but have included it in this post. Word from my son is that he loves it! Dexter also happens to be teething right now, so it comes in handy for that.

That is definitely the greatest reward we can receive as woodworkers. I wonder at what point the rattle becomes a mallet? :gar-La;

The rattle only weighs a few grams over 2 ounces, so I don't think it will go a lot of damage!

Learning the love for wood at an early age...priceless!

Beautiful baby rattle! Attractive wood combo, great shape especially the handle. I'm sure the little one approves. Way to go Grand Pa!

Wonderful woodworking, and even better, such a handsome lad. I am sure you are a proud grandpa.
