Nice work, I always like looking at these. Well done

they look great – I’d like to know more about the process in making them – I’d like to make some myself -

one thing in particular – how do you size them?

Nice work

Congrats on figuring out how make those beautiful rings. It took me a lot more than 4 or 5 not so good ones to be able to make nice ones.

Good job! I’ve made a few myself by turning them on the lathe and have been meaning to do some bentwood versions like yours. High five!

They’re lovely, just the right size and thinness and great finish. Shows great self control and patience. Well done!

Those look great. How do you make those?

Thanks guys, I appreciate the comments. @ medsker, very slowly in a well lighted room ;)

The darker wood looks and awful lot like Cocobolo, rather than purple Heart

Well it was a sad day. I broke one of the rings. I have been wearing the really dark one since Feb and this last weekend it broke. It held up very well to scratches and so on in that time though. Basically I smashed my hand between a keg of beer and a door jamb. I didn’t really feel it till I tried to pick up the next keg (it was my cousins wedding) Thats when I noticed the break. I am quite sure had it been a traditional gold band we would have had to cut it off. So it was kind of a pro and a con. I was impressed with how much it took to break though.

man i would really like one of these? interesting in selling one? thanks!

Interested? Yes. Would I? Probably not. I made a few for Christmas presents this year and discovered I have an allergy to the glue. One hour of work on them equals five days of stuffy congested, can’t-see-past-my-nose crap. Let’s just say that I would do it but the price would be staggering. Sorry. They are really simple though. You should make your own.
