My first two attempts at making a wooden ring failed. 1 ended up having some pith in it so it cracked the next one I made too thin and it cracked. Third time was a charm at first....
I have been asked by a customer to make a wooden ring. I figured I would make one for myself and see how the fit and finish worked and lasted. I finished this lilac wood ring with pens plus. After wearing it for a few days and playing with it a lot intentionally to see how the finish lasted, I will not use pens plus again. I think due to playing with it and the warmth of my hands helped to remove the finish or at least dull it within one and a half days.
I then put my hand in a fist and pushed my body up off of the ground and the wooden ring cracked. Granted I am very rough on things and should not have had the ring on outside while working under my car. but my goal was to put this ring to the test.
So I searched the forum and found the bangleguy.com. I love what I see on his website but I need to make a ring that is a size 9.5. It appears he only sells full sizes, not half sizes.
What's the best way for me to make a size 9.5 preferably with a metal core in it for stability. Any other websites that sell metal course? Please help.
