Wood Brain by Lindsay Zuelich

I make hand crafted wood accessories for both men and women that include; necklaces, earrings, bracelets, rings, belt buckles, money clips, cufflinks and key chains. I also make distinctive one of a kind planters from reclaimed wood with unique low maintenance drought tolerant plants. I collect wood from branches on the roadside and beach tide lines looking for unique pieces to create with. I collect unusual pieces of wood from roadsides to beach tides Each portion of wood will only yield a limited amount of pieces to create with. Making each item special. I hand pick and cut each unique piece of wood as part of my creative process. My products are eco-friendly. All my wood products are hand crafted with reclaimed wood. No trees are harmed in my selective process of acquiring wood for my products. No wood is wasted in the making of my products. All the wood is utilized even the sawdust is put to use in my home garden.

When I create with wood veneer I sometimes doubt my skill level. It’s a fickle material to work with, especially in the manner I work with it... I cut it down into a bunch of small pieces just to glue them back together. But at the end of the day I love what I do and it’s therapeutic, so I’m going to keep at this thing I call art. #womanwoodworker #woodveneer #woodnerd #exoticwood #woodlove #handcrafted #woodmosaic #darkwood #wood #notahandmodel #wood_brain #woodwork

In order to see something clearly, sometimes you have to build the puzzle, piece by piece until it reveals the bigger picture. Focus in on life’s bigger picture. #lovelife #findyourpassion #woodnerd #womanwoodworker #piecebypiece #exoticwood #handcrafted #setforsuccess #toolsforsuccess #lovelife #woodworking #xactoknife #wood_brain #woodart #wood #10k

I get asked a lot where I learned the skills of working with my hands and tools. While I’d like to say its a compilation of years of trial and error, sweat and tears, learning and research,... the true credit goes to my Dad. He planted and nurtured the seed early on. My Dad was a “Jack of all trades”, which is funny because his name is Jack. His classic statement when someone asked if he had a part or tool to fix something was, “I’ve got it in stock”. My dad prided himself on a packed, messy, yet organized garage, full of tools and parts to fix or make anything you could think of (twice). So at an early age I fell in love with tools. I learned how to respect and care for them, collect and maintain them. Every Christmas and birthday, tools were always first thing on my list. While having the skill to work with your hands is great having the right tool for the job can set you for success. So with that said, I want to give the credit where credits due. DAD I owe a whole lot of this thing I call talent to you. You set me for success, with the right tools and mindset that I can do anything I put my mind to. Thank you for always supporting and believing in me! #findyourpassion #wood_brain #womanwoodworker #strong #youcandoanything #tools #success #passion #woodworking #woodlove #tool #level #notahandmodel #lovewhatido #lovelife #dad #setforsuccess #toolsforsuccess

It’s always the small pieces that make up the Big picture. Getting ready to start another fun mosaic wood art piece. This time I’m hoping to time lapse the process. Wish me luck. #woodnerd #woodpieces #woodart #woodmosaic #wood #womanwoodworker #woodlove #puzzlepiece #smallpieces #handmade #woodproject #exoticwood #ebony #yellowheart #create #lovewhatido #findyourpassion

Life can be like a butterfly. You can chase it, or you can let it come to you. How often do you slow down to a full stop, look at the world around you and realize you create your reality? . #findyourpassion #lovelife #woodwork #womanwoodworker #handmade #butterfly #woodnerd #woodbutterfly #monarch #wood #exoticwood #handcrafted #laboroflove #findyourpurpose #lifequotes #closeup #woodworking #woodlove #woodcraft #wood_brain

There’s a saying of being at the right place, at the right time. However I think there’s a part of that statement missing. Which is, being the right person, at the right place, at the right time. You can be at the right place, at the right time, but not be fully the person yet to receive the rewards. Trust that you are where your at for a reason, and always strive to be a better person, so that you can be... the right person, at the right place, at the right time. #rightpersonrightplacerighttime #lovelife #trust #findyourpassion #woodwork #woodnerd #friend #letsbefriends #wood #woodlove #womanwoodworker #inspiration #notahandmodel #striveforgreatness

The passion of doing something repetitive, to me is a labor of love. Allow your passion to become your purpose, and it will one day become your profession. So chase down your passion like it’s the last bus of the night. 🌟 🚌 🏃‍♀️ . . . #passion #chaseyourdreams #woodnerd #lovewhatido #womanwoodworker #womanwoodworkers #wood #wood_brain #exoticwood #mahogany #woodshapes #woodwork #findyourpassion #findyourpurpose #lovelife

I had the honor and privilege of attending the @blackfeatherwhiskey launch party this weekend at the El Adobe in San Juan Capistrano. The attention to detail and love that goes into they’re whiskey truly shows not only in the taste but also the beautiful bottle. The launch party was a total blast. They showed 3 short films 🎬 about those who live what they love. One film featured ⭐️ @freenotecloth a So Cal apparel brand reviving old school standards of quality and character. Another featured a Utah hatter 🎩 producing perfection with methods and machinery from the 1800’s. As well as a short film of a true guitar hero pushing music as hard as he can. They also had awesome live music from @professorcolombo thank you @blackfeatherwhiskey for inviting me, I’m looking forward to sharing many more amazing bottles of whiskey together. Cheers friends keep doing what you love. #blackfeatherwhiskey #spiritpilots #woodnerd #whiskey #whiskeybottle #wood_brain #woodflask #woodworking exoticwood #womanwoodworker #lovewhatyoudo #lovewhatido #cheers #influencer

I’ve been asked to come create some fun content for the event via IG, with awesome whiskey, live music and a film screening how could I say no.... #stoked #woodnerd #whiskeyplease #woodflasks #wood_brain #womanwoodworker #woodlove #exoticwood #whiskey #blackfeatherwhiskey #spiritpilots #iginfluencer #woodworking #lovewhatido #partytime #areyoustillreadingthis

I Shipped out a large graduation gift order last week and I can’t stop thinking about all those different woods, along with all the grads that will be receiving them... what’s their major, what school are they graduating from, how long were they in school, what’s their plan now? Where ever life takes them I wish them the best....It’s fun to image who receives my wooden flasks and imagine what they aspire to be in life... #woodnerd #woodflask #gradgift #lovewhatido #wood #womanwoodworker #handmade #flasks #woodflasks #exoticwood #lovethecolor #colorful #round #circle
