The exotic woods used in my earrings consist of Brazilian Cherry Wood, Zebra Wood, Padauk Wood, Bocate Wood, Purple Heart Wood, & Rosewood.

I also use Maple, Cherry, Basswood and Walnut woods in the creation of other styles of my earrings.

Once a design is ready to cut, I export my computer aided design file into my laser cutting software. From there, I wrap the wood in a sticky backing to keep the wood from burning. The laser cutter does the hard work, by cutting through the hardwoods. Once cut, I give the earrings a soft scrub and soak them in isopropyl alcohol to remove debris/char along the edges of each earring from the laser. The wood is then clear coated to enhance the wood colors and the the earrings are then assembled by hand. Ready for your ears!

Often I am asked to custom make earrings. I use woods such as maple, cherry, basswood and walnut, as well as colored acrylic and of course those exotic woods. Contact me for details in creating that special custom earring for you.
