Paul that is a great job cutting both of those. What an awesome pattern too! So awesome I went to look for it but could not find it...yet... I like both equally. If and when I find it I am most certainly cutting that pattern...

Made this guy tonight, just put tung oil on it. Japanese cherry blossom tree with Teak framed with Douglas fir
-
thank you! the possibilities are endless. I have the idea to create a thick blank, re-saw it once its cured and use it as the frame and make another complimentary blank for the inside of those...
-
thanks, the width really depends on the size of the persons wrist, the rectangular blanks I put together are 4 1/4 inches by 3 approx. They range in thickness, some I make thick, some thin. The thickness of the bracelet when cut is usually less than a 1/4 inch. I did put together a tutorial so to speak, its in this section entitled making bracelets.

Wenge, massaranduba, maple, Teak framed with torrified maple. No poly yet, the Teak grain is cool

Massaranduba, maple, ipe framed with aromatic Western red cedar. No poly yet, tung oil only. The ipe has some amazing colors.

thanks Jeff!

Sizing is tricky, the bracelets are not flexible and should not be flexed although depending on the speices of wood used they do have some give but in my 60 or so that I have made thus far the best results are using Hardwoods and getting the opening size is crucial to avoid breakage. the most important size is the opening and that logically corresponds with the width and overall size of the bracelet. The easiest size to make is "your" size as your wrist is with you to size it... They are addictive to make and are really eye catching

Thanks!

Teak sandwiched by maple, more maple splitting up Wenge, framed with Honduran mahogany

Massaranduba, ash, Wenge framed with aromatic Western red cedar. I am trying to get more detailed with these, actually using pencil and ruler to measure and selecting cool grains like this one.

Thanks Folks, made a couple more tonight...the drying time of Titebond III is starting to piss me off and delay my production...LOL I guess I need more clamps too...ha ha
-
no worries, I look forward to seeing someone else give it a go, its great fun and the possibilities are endless...At this point in time I have made about 60 or so, cool thing is I am now starting to take those 60 blanks and make yet another 60 from that just smaller for the ladies...they are not as much fun though cause I can't put them on my wrist....
-
that one there you quoted Kevin is one of my favs....wore it today
-
Hope to see others give it a go. There are certainly alot of little tips and tricks that I have learned and will continue to learn. I will try and add those to the tutorial thread.

Actually I did as requested peice together a tutorial here in the bragging thread. Making bracelets I think it was called
-
Addictive peice of jewellery for me to make at this point in time. Partially cause I love wearing them and partially as a result of having 100 peices of wall art taking up space in my house... Need to makes small's.... Got to also get back to making bentwood rings
