Beautiful, the meteorite parts are really unusual.
So what's the "bentwood method"? Bending layers instead of carving, or something else?

Hi! Yes, I steam bend wood veneers to get the wood grain to go around the ring. This makes them really durable. Then I work them on the lathe to get the desired effect.

Did you apply the CA while the ring was still spinning on the lathe? Did you use a thicker or thinner version? Presumably fine sanded and polishing compound afterward?

Nice ring, I've made a few myself. I really like the way it came out.

Cool. How did you smooth and level the meteorite chunks?
