A Couple of Rings From Jack Daniels Staves

[kyaggie]

So a friend, whose family has worked for Jack Daniels forever, asked me to make two rings out of a Jack Daniels barrel stave. So FedEx delivered a couple of staves and here is how the rings turned out. The cream color is the natural color of the white oak and the dark parts are where the Jack darkened the wood during the aging process.

Wow. Well done to say the least. Not your first rings obviously. Really great looking to say the least.

Turned out very nice.

Great looking. That wood really shines.

Like "designer" said...........Those are not your first rings.
Wonderful work.

I would love to learn how to make those at some point down the road. Those are beautiful.

Thanks to all for the great comments!

Big, just dive in... they are a lot of fun to do! Start off with some bangles and watch the videos on bangleguy.com and then give the rings a shot. The rings are obviously very similar but the tolerances are much tighter... sand paper is your friend!

Thanks again,
Mike

Do you make or by the metal part of the ring? They look great.

 

[kyaggie]

Reddwil, the metal core of the rings come from Eric at bangleguy.com and you can get them as either stainless steel (what these two are) or titanium in sizes 4 to 13 (whole sizes only).
