The,re made with different woods, some lamination, some not.. tried spalted maple , too weak reaks easy.. Using a cheap ring gauge for sizing…drill cut, and sanding…..lots of sanding… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmmcrafts Posted March 9, 2022 Report Share Posted March 9, 2022 I made rings for my daughter and wife several years ago.. I made a inlay peace sign pendant for my daughter back a few years ago when the symbol made another "in style" comeback for a couple short lived years, LOL The rings I made was actually a template from Steve Good I think.. He has patterns for estimated ring sizes etc.. I did a glue up of walnut and maple.. then basically just cut it out and did all the shaping by sanding it. Quite a lot of work this way but the rings came out awesome.. I used clear Lacquer for the finish.. held up pretty good but after a couple years there is some wear showing on the finish. Could always just top coat again I suppose. Used to be a guy I followed on instagram that made rings and sold them on etsy.. his method was to cut strips of thin laminate material and super glue. he had different size dowels for doing his glue ups.. He would apply some glue and roll the laminate up and just kept gluing / rolling.. then sand and shape it.. His finish was actually the CA glue ( super glue ).. He made some beautiful rings.. weren't cheap either at a couple hundred each. He's probably still on instagram and etsy.. I just don't get on and follow the people like I once did.. He had quite a few sales and seemed to do really well with it. Gene Howe and John B 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharleyL Posted March 9, 2022 Report Share Posted March 9, 2022 Here is a Youtube video about doing it with veneer. A friend of mine has made rings this way and they are incredibly strong. Charley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRugerH Posted March 10, 2022 Report Share Posted March 10, 2022 That veneer is an awesome idea. I have a bunch of purpleheart and curly maple veneer sitting around the shop to try that. I'll do purplehwart first since it's a much less expensive veneer than the curly maple. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
