Rummaging

Don Henthorn Smithville, Texas

>I was rummaging throug a box and found this rattle. I made a number of these about twenty-five years ago and this was one of the poorer ones which I didn't give away. I made one for a granddaughter who kept it with her twenty-four hours a day. She played with it teethed on it sucked on it, beat on things with it and just refused to part with it. Her mother finally put it away so she could have it in later life. I'm sure glad no one ever told her mother or her that walnut is really poisonous as she never had any reaction or problem with it. Shows that what you don't know can't hurt you.(-:

>Nice piece Don. I like the shapes you have brought together here. And I really like that the rings are of different sizes. Tell us, were they turned on the rattle, or are they broken and reglued onto the spindle?

Curious minds want to know.

Turn 'em round,

>Doug, since they aren't linked together I just turned them on the piece. Thanks for the complement. As I remember I didn't give this one away because for some reason I didn't finish the beads on the spindle. Also the rings were a little flat and I like them round.
