Origin and Craftsmanship
Channapatna is a small town in Karnataka, India, known as the "toy town" or "Gombegala Ooru" for its famous wooden toys and handicrafts. The artisans here have mastered the skill of woodturning and lacquering over generations. The crafting process begins by selecting soft ivory wood, which is then shaped on a lathe into smooth cylindrical shapes and bars for rattles and other toys.
This traditional technique involves the application of colored lacquer using natural vegetable dyes. These dyes are non-toxic and eco-friendly, making the infant wooden rattle extremely safe for babies. The vibrant colors are achieved by melting the lacquer with friction during the lathing process, giving the toy a glossy and seamless finish.
