All of your rings look great. Have you considered doing a blog on one of these? I’m sure some of us would find it interesting and informitive.

Added a little blog entry. Not the greatest writing style, I admit, but I hope it gets the idea across. Please let me know if you guys have any further questions about the process.

Love the rings and the info. Have you ever used any osage orange?

Thanks!

-- Rob (A) Waxahachie,TX

RobS: Interesting that you would ask! JUST ordered Osage Orange yesterday, along with Blue Mahoe, Pink Ivory, Leadwood, Cocobolo, and a few others.

:)

My dad requested a ring that incorporated Osage Orange, so that’s what prompted me to get it. Some ladies at work saw pictures of Pink Ivory and wanted to buy some rings made of that wood.

...I’m finding that people really like these “colorful” woods more than I had anticipated. Looking forward to working with them – never used these species before.

(I’d really like to have enough osage orange to bulid some nice fence posts out of… I hear it is extremely decay resistant.)
