I made these drumsticks with woodworking sage Ben Gonzalez in his garage. I wrote about working with Ben in my latest feature for the Los Angeles Times, about how to become a woodworker.
I have been crafting some specialty items for Homemade Newspaper readers — and my mom, the artist Dee Gozonsky — has made something great. Let’s start with her!
This is my mom’s vision of the psychological deer fence protecting the cacahuazintle, which I’m thrilled to say is coming up nicely.
You can get a print of my mom’s lovely watercolor-and-ink drawing, as well as a hold-it-in-your-hands edition of Homemade Newspaper,
by becoming a paid subscriber.
And if you would like a 9-inch vinyl record mounted on a block of wood — we can make that happen, too.
