Project Information

...and she said "yes"!

HUGE thanks to Frank of Bentwoodrings.com for some tips getting started and especially the inspiration from his incredible array of artful craftsmanship.

Again, I could use some better pictures here-the black background under the box makes it look like the hole goes all the way through (which of course it doesn't).

I made this as a placeholder to "get the ball rolling," and because I just really WANTED to take a shot at making her ring…. but indeed in the near future there will be a more traditional (and enduring) set of metal and rocks… hopefully before this ring dies in a horrible hot tub accident or gunfight or something! :)

You can tell you are an LJ when…
1. Engagement ring is made from wood
2. Ring box is hand made from wood

You can also tell you are extremely fortunate when she says yes to something you made. The very best of wishes and dreams for the future.

Steve.

PS: I'd consider getting the wedding ring made from a metal with some kind of stones in it.

Nice ring. At first I thought it was a flat segmented piece in the middle but it looks like it is wrapped around a lighter colored core. How did you do that? That is a very attractive piece. it would make a super gift for someone.
