My friend Nick has a 6yr old boy who has type 1 diabetes. he has to be constantly monitored for sugar level. I thought I should take him a toy when I drop off the rattle for then new baby. So I made this 19th century toy for him. The cup is 1 1/2" diameter and 4 1/4" long and the ball is 3/4" diameter. Both are made from mesquite and finished with clear satin enamel.

Nice you think of everyone!

Old school toy, but less destructive than the paddle with the ball and rubber band 😀
Fun!

Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".

One word. Brilliant!

Some of my most creative moments have been when I've had to cover up an error in my woodworking.

Hours of active fun right there. Even if he isn't into sports, he'll get a good level of activity with that rig. Perfect gift.
Old school game....you can never get tired of that
