How we make your ring

first get your stock of very wellseasoned timber:

We cut the wood into planks 35mm wide and 2mm thick.

Next cut them into small squares

We use a small hobby saw bench

Next glue three squares together (I do seven sets at a time as thats what fits best in the clamps I have

Leave a day then seperate and drill a 5mm hole in each ring blank

It only has to be roughly in the middle, but it MUST be vertical, we use a drill in a stand

Next mount it on the mandril that I leave clamped in the jaws of the lathe

Here it is on the lathe

After turning, put a bit of polish on whilst on the lathe, then remove

Cut out the middle with a sharp knife (it looks messy, but it has been turned to size
with only a thin section in the middle that is jagged and needs sanding)

Sand down and polish with a dremmel (a craft rotary drill)
