When you finally achieve a perfect piece well here is mine.

It's a ring made of silver and walnut. it is one more step in my project of starting a jewellery line with my local jeweller.
comments, critics and questions are welcomed!

PS: I'll get back to penturning soon I promess

The color (tint) of the photo takes away from the ring, but what I can make out, I like very much. Silver and walnut give good contrasts.

Yeah sorry about that I forgot to adjust my camera

Looks awesome! But I have to ask - rings experience wear, and people wear rings in water. How are you protecting the walnut?

I did put a ca finish on which is waterproof. I'll also be trying epoxy that is meant to finish boats to sail in the sea.

Very nice. I am researching making rings myself.

Well if yyou have any questions you can pm me or ask them here and I'll be glad to answer them. If you want to make just one ring you can buy a stainless insert from bangleguy or you can buy a flat stainless ring on Amazon.

Anyway I think it's a fun learning process and I wish you good luck

Thanks, I will. You have already answered my first question on where to find the inserts.

Woodworkers Emporium in Nevada sells stainless ring cores and has instructions on the site. Good place to do business for tools and turning jigs. They carry some of the different items like off center chucks for those who are especially serious about the topic.
