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:

Crystal Medallion Wooden Earrings – Daniel D. Brown, 2017
Believe it or not, these earrings for my wife @tam_a_ryn took most of the day to make. All wood and all natural colors (no stain or paint). Made from Padauk, Cherry, Purpleheart, Walnut, and Aspen. Cut on a scrollsaw. Heavily inspired by a design by @woodvibetribe (check out their AMAZING work!). Note: I based these off of @woodvibetribe‘s design for the simple reason that my wife said “make me some similar to these!” I’m not selling them.

Sphen – Daniel D. Brown, 2017, Intarsia
This is my second attempt at wood intarsia. I designed this based on a new resident of the National Aviary – an African penguin named “Sphen.” It was constructed from Walnut, Aspen, Cherry, Red Oak, Yellow Pine, and Maple log.

Scrollsaw Nautilus Shell #4 – Daniel D. Brown, 2017, Red Oak, Poplar, and Pine
I made this one from the same wood I used to make Scrollsaw Nautilus Shell #3. I decided to try some more interesting shaping on this one. I also finished it with Walnut oil (food safe) instead of polyurethane.
Seen here compared to Scrollsaw Nautilus Shell #3.

Art All Night 2017!
Once again, my wife and I participated in Art All Night Lawrenceville.
It’s a free art exhibit in a huge warehouse and free for all Pittsburghers. Also, anyone in the city can submit one artwork to be shown.
My mixed media sculpture/painting “Tridimensional Portrait of a Lizard in the Midst of an Existential Crisis” was on display, along with a painting my wife made. It was a blast as always!
