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.

 

Beatuiful Padauk wood!

Wooden Feather Earrings #4 – Cherry, Padauk, & Purpleheart

These earrings are hand-made, one-of-a-kind pieces made from cherry, padauk, and purpleheart woods. The colors are the natural colors of the wood (no stains or paints). These are finished with a food-safe mineral oil/beeswax mix. 

This pair of earrings is available for purchase on the Laughing Mantis online shop.


The wood is initially cut to size and glued in the desired pattern. I then sketch out the design and cut it out with a scrollsaw. Finally comes a LOT of sanding by hand and then finishing with mineral oil/beeswax.
