Cypress the Screech Owl – Daniel D. Brown, 2017, Wood Intarsia

I have been accepted into this year’s Wings & Wildlife Art Show at the National Aviary for the third year in a row. Thus, I decided to creat a piece specifically for the show. During last year’s show, the staff brought around this cute little screech owl around to my booth, where I got some great photos of him (see below). I based this piece on one of those photos.

You can purchase this original wooden artwork here.

If you are interested in making your own version of this piece, the plans can be purchased here.

The following instagram post contains a bunch of photographs going through the entire process of creating these intarsia pieces. Click through to see how it’s done:

 

Stormtrooper – Daniel D. Brown, 2017, Intarsia

My buddy @scrapforge made me a scribing knife. So I made him this from Cherry and Walnut. 

 

And here are a bunch of views under different lighting conditions:

 

The Fish Panhandler – Daniel D. Brown, 2017, Wood Intarsia

This is my first ever intarsia project, made by cutting different species of wood into fitting shapes to make a larger picture. No stain is used – only the natural colors of the wood. It was constructed from red oak, poplar, yellow pine, and unknown reclaimed wood.
It is named “The Fish Panhandler” because it’s based on a brown pelican I photographed at The Docks at Crayton Cove, Naples, Florida hanging around the fish cleaning station waiting for fishermen to toss him their leftovers.
