George Bagnall



George learned the art and craft of furniture making as an apprentice to furniture maker/designer Jeffrey Greene in New Hope, PA.  After his apprenticeship he returned to Texas where he works in a one-man shop as a wood turner and funriture maker.

His heirloom baby rattles are handcrafted from a single piece of wood with a safe mineral oil/bees wax finish.  Kernals of Indian corn create the soothing sound of the rattle.  George uses American hard maple, black cherry or black walnut for the wood.

Babies love this organic rattle, designed to be activley used and to display the natural beauty of wood.  The passing of time will only enhance its natural beauty.  The rattle can be a cherished heirloom to be lovingly passed from one generation to the next.
