Earnest Efforts natural woodworking

Welcome to Earnest Efforts natural woodworking where we live in our 1880's turkey shed surrounded by the cozy woods of Olalla Valley in SW Oregon and handcraft our wood baby rattles, spirit shakers & wood boxes all made from sustainably harvested woods.

Our baby rattles were featured in Mothering Magazine's 2011 Natural Toy Guide

We have been handcrafting our wood baby rattles for over twenty-five years and now have approximately 75 baby stores across the US, Canada, Australia & Sweden who carry our rattles in their shops. They are a safe, natural alternative to plastic toys for babies, and a wonderful worry stone or musical instrument for all ages. We create each rattle from sustainably harvested Oregon woods and use copper-coated steel bbs for the rattle. We always use a certified non-toxic wood glue and finish all of our woodworking with Clapham's Beeswax Salad Bowl Finish. We NEVER use stains.

Our earliest customers grew up with an Earnest Efforts rattle in their mouth and are now returning to us to purchase a rattle for their own babies. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions. If you would like to see more of our rattles, boxes, spirit shakers & hair barrettes please enter our Etsy shop at:

Take care, be good & kind and don't forget to laugh,

Earnie, Ellie & Myrtle Jo Efforts
