Walnut Pen – Daniel D. Brown, 2018
I made this pen for my step-father-in-law from a really old walnut chair his parents once owned. Turned on a drill press with abrasives and rasps.

Here’s a little cheeseboard/serving board I made for my wife this week from a pile of small scraps I’ve been collecting from other projects. Some of it is wood I collected and milled myself from around the neighborhood. Mostly ambrosia maple, walnut, mahogany, and cherry.
Congratulations, Dr. Basudan!!! Plaque made from walnut and maple using a scrollsaw.
Well that was fun! I woke up today and decided to make a box for my carving knives and accessories. My old one is too small now. It’s a pretty simple box, with lots of flaws – but I’m super happy with it for my own use. I made the top by resawing a piece of scrap walnut to create a bookmatched panel (with a lot of handplaning). I cut the big chamfers (or whatever you wanna call them) on the table saw. The lid panel and bottom are inserted into grooves on the sides, which are made of cherry leftover from @tam_a_ryn’s kitchen island cart. The bottom is just some scrap pine I needed to get rid of. Finished with tung oil.
I was gonna add splines. But I wanted this to be a quick project and was just ready to be done. I think it’ll hold up fine with my usage.
Now that it has safely arrived in San Fran, I can share this watercolor painting my wife @tam_a_ryn made for @seki_kai and Alex. I built the frame from walnut.
