About 4 year ago I made an antler ring and posted it on this forum. In the past month 2 people have seen that picture and asked about making them a ring. I hadn't done much with the rings in the past 4 years but decided to give it another try. I came up with a procedure (working on video) that works pretty well to make the ring, but am stuck on what kind of finish to use or no finish at all.
The first ring in the first picture I used thin CA to soak in to the pores (or whatever they are called) but no CA on the outer diameter just buffed it. The other rings I used CA finish like on a pen.
The one on the right I have been wearing for a couple weeks. It originally had CA on it but it came off in some areas, so I took the rest off and just buffed it up.
Any suggestions on a better finish would certainly be appreciated.
Thanks, Steve
