Newt Scamander Wand – Daniel D. Brown, 2018
I made this Newt Scamander wand from a scrap piece of ash wood for a friend’s daughter. I filled the end with epoxy containing pearl powder to achieve the core effect.

River Coffee Table – Daniel D. Brown, 2018
We finally have a new coffee table! Lombardy poplar (not to be confused with tulip poplar, which isn’t actually a poplar), walnut, epoxy (West System), and blue ocean pigment (Eye Candy). This was definitely a learning experience, with many mistakes and challenges along the way. But in the end, I’m more than happy with how it turned out – and it’s much prettier than our old particle board/veneered table. The top came from a tree cut down across the street from our house. It had been standing mostly dead for several years (like most of the Lombardy poplars in the US). I chainsawed and milled the log myself. This table took me almost exactly a month to build. See my instagram for several posts detailing this build.
