“Mauritian Beach,” Daniel D. Brown, 2014, Digital Painting

This is just a quick little digital painting I did on my iPad using ArtRage. It’s based on a photo I took in Mauritius.

Impromptu project: helping my neighbor Austin turn

Impromptu project: helping my neighbor Austin turn a couple slabs of red cedar her step-dad cut over 20 years ago into side tables. Basically she asked if I could help so I told her to bring em over and I’d give em a look and see what we could do with them. They were very roughly chainsawed and need a LOT of flattening, but they’re obviously gorgeous and I want to keep them🤣. My router jig is too small (the slabs are at least 24” at their widest), so the first thing I did was have her help me make a bigger jig. She’s quite handy - she just doesn’t have the tools I have. We both then made a bunch of passes with the router, just using 2x4s to prop up the jig. Still a ways to go, but these will look damn fine when done I think. She wants to use hairpin legs, which I think is probably best and easiest in this situation.

Now available! The “Making, Our Way” podcast (

Now available! The “Making, Our Way” podcast (@makingourwaypodcast) featuring me talking about my projects with @dean_duplantis, @twistedtwinewoodworking, and @highcalibercraftsmanbuilds.
I must admit I was more than a little nervous at the outset. I’m not sure I still know how to talk to people in general, much less in a focused, entertaining way. But you know what, from the moment we began, the time just flew by and I was shocked when it was over. Dean, Christy, and Austin are excellent hosts and I genuinely would have enjoyed just shooting the shit with them for another couple hours over drinks. I believe the podcast is available on all the regular platforms: apple, Spotify, etc. Link in bio.

Here’s an appropriate follow from my previous wooden squirrel post. The in-laws recently gave us a picnic table squirrel feeder, which the squirrels promptly destroyed (it was unfinished pine and drywall screws). I decided to make a slightly sturdier version out of some old wormy cherry from my boss. It’s pretty wood, but the very large number of worm holes makes it unusable for most things. I also made an extra table for the “Sunflower family,” @bethanyann137 and fam, with whom we’ve basically become instant BFFs (see my sunflower post a few back for that story).
Anyway, I just quickly looked at the dimensions of the previously destroyed one and made a rough replica design. The whole process was only ~2-3 hours including some glue curing steps. Swipe for making of and the table “in use”. 😂

“Squirrel Bill” is complete! As most of you who’ve seen any of my stories over the past year know, @tam_a_ryn spent the pandemic becoming a Disney princess. It took a while but she eventually got the squirrels eating out of her hands. We’ve fed them an absolutely ridiculous amount of walnuts and pecans over the past 18 months, so we have quite the healthy population in our backyard now. Obviously it was time to make a wooden squirrel intarsia piece. Squirrel Bill (who she named after our Pittsburgh neighborhood of “Squirrel Hill”) is constructed of mostly wood I scavenged myself from Squirrel Hill. Some elm, crab apple, spalted holly, walnut, and a teensy bit of ebony and mahogany (neither from here of course).

An important thing to remember when doing somethin

An important thing to remember when doing something creative, especially when it’s just for fun: if you don’t like something, don’t be afraid to just trash it and start over. Here I had already cut, shaped, and glued the 3 pieces of cherry that were to be the tree upon which Mr. Squirrel sits. I was planning to build a frame around it with the cherry in the bottom left corner and the background open. But I decided I hated the composition of it. I glanced around my shop at all the rough cut logs lying around (which mostly came from Squirrel Hill) and thought, why isn’t he just perching on a slab that I scavenged and milled? So now I’m going through my lumber to find just the right piece. I think I’ve settled on this beautiful crab apple tree that was brutally murdered by millions of ants. I’m already happier with it. I think.

New project started. Getting the pieces cut is only half the work. Next up: shaping and depth. I’m making this from 90% scavenged wood from our “Squirrel Hill” neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pa. Seemed fitting. I’m not even certain of the species though I highly suspect it’s elm.

I made a cheese cutter on a whim today after work. I’ve had the hardware for a while. I made it sorta rainbowy in honor of pride month (bloodwood, padauk, mahogany, cherry, spalted yellowheart, ash, walnut). Yes that’s @tam_a_ryn making fart sounds.
