Exotic wood rings

[WayneG]

Many of you know I was making a bunch of bracelets. So I had all the leftovers from the billet that I made for the bracelets. So I figured I would make these funky rings

They are cool things and I gotta give it a go at some point

Those all are very unique and nicely done.  Thanks for sharing them with us.

nice job

[rdatelle]

Wow, great job on those. I wouldn't know where to start to try and make something like that.

Nice and interesting.  I still have bracelets on my "to try" list - life has been in my way for a bit now though - but I will get there I hope!   Thanks for sharing.

I know how life gets in the way, that is one of the reasons I have not been around here much lately.

when you try the bracelets let me know I whip them out like mad now that I have the process down pat and can likely save you some time.

I still feel the need to glue a couple up almost daily....

thanks! well these are just leftovers, having said that I have an idea now to piece together some pieces of wood specifically for a ring like this but instead of going across the fingers it will go lengthwise up and down the finger. I think that will be neat!

I can make one to your ring size and send it to you however you could just make one....

Very cool idea

Ha ha, yes you likely could but I have much better custom wooden rings for that, ones that come to a point...LOL

 

thanks Dave some really are beats, I am starting to learn a trick or two about making them after about 7 or 8 now I guess.

Thanks,

I will see if I can snap a few pics and post them of the process.

Clever use of left over wood, they all came out great.

Here are some pics of one that I made tonight. Take the blank, draw a circle around the hole drilled with a forester bit. draw a line across the top of the ring hole, draw another above at the desired thickness. cut it out on the scroll saw, sand and trim to perfection, apply whatever finish you want to use.Voila a funky, cool looking ring. This particular one is made of Merbau with a very thin strip Acacia on the edges. check the last pic, it should be the second one as that is the blank which is on end so you can see the cross-section of the blank.

You could make cufflinks too!These catch the eye!

Made this one in a normal shape, it’s cool the acacia changes colors when it moves on different light, meranti is the other species
