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.

Wooden Mallet

One of the first things I need in my new woodworking shop is a mallet. I made this from a leftover chunk of laminated wood I used in making a scroll saw shell.

Scrollsaw Nautilus Shell #3 – Daniel D. Brown, 2017, Red Oak, Poplar, and Pine

This is the third nautilus-inspired scrollsaw shell I’ve made (see #1, and #2). This one I made from some red oak, pine, and poplar I laminated together and cut into wedges (by hand).

Scrollsaw Nautilus Shell #2 – Daniel D. Brown, 2017, Pine

This is my second practice scrollsaw shell (made with the same piece of lumber as Scrollsaw Nautilus Shell #1 – go here to see how these are made). This method was first invented by my cousin Steve Garrison.

This shell is the middle one below, also shown with Scrollsaw Nautilus Shell #1 and Scrollsaw Nautilus Shell #3).

“Owl Earring Hanger #2”, Daniel D. Brown, 2017

I decided to make a simpler Owl earring hanger – One that takes less time to assemble and is much less unwieldy to ship. i.e. one that’s actually worth it for me to make and sell to people. This first one was an experiment with home-made stains using vinegar and steel wool.

Note the hanging basket in which studs and earring backs can be placed.
