    But he's not going to be allowed to touch it, right? And I'm assuming there's no "message" in the choice of timber.....

    I'm glad, and it is a nice piece!

    When I was a kid, our neighbours made my parents remove a laburnum tree from our garden after a family poisoned themselves by using home-made (laburnum) kebab skewers. It always stuck in my mind, and was my first thought when I saw your rattle!

    If you want to turn some ornamental pieces then Laburnum is a lovely wood to turn as well as having some nice grain. Like most wood suitable protection is needed
