    Finger labyrinth

    A friend asked if I could make a finger labyrinth for his son. I grabbed a photo off the Internet, did some modifications, and cut this out of Maple for him. It's about 11.5" diameter and finished in Nitrocellulose lacquer.

    So the idea is that you put a marble or small steel ball into the slot and try to roll it into the middle of the board?

    I guess you could run a marble down the groove. The 6-year old I made this for has trouble going to sleep and his parents thought that if he could run his finger along the groove while he was trying to settle down for sleep that this might help. So I guess it's supposed to be soothing and that's why it's called a 'finger' labyrinth.
