I have been forming rattles in clay for awhile now but have recently been adding found wood handles to them as well. Living on New Jersey wetlands and having plenty of tall Pin Oaks and an assortment of other trees, I am never at a loss for fallen limbs, twigs or branches. I also have quite a deluge of bamboo but for some reason, the gnarled wood seems to complement my rattles in a more pleasing manner.
