Practice, practice, practice.
Still nothing fancy like inlay or linings, but we’ll get there.
These are ebony and zebrawood, which were both surprisingly friendly to work with.
At present, they’ve only got one coat of tung, but they’ll probably get a few more in the next couple of days… and then (assuming the new CA glue I ordered gets here quickly) a CA finish (which I’ve still never tried)... and then buffed with some paste wax, just for good measure.

They are gorgous. Hoe do you check the size?

j_olsen – i’ve gotten that request a lot lately :) i’m still getting the the workflow down… there are a few more little things i need to work out before i’m comfortable putting a blog together.
amagineer – i have gauges for each ring size… which are all slightly smaller than the actual size, so i have a little room to sand the inside without making it too large. while i’m sanding, i check every minute or two with my digital calipers to make sure everything is correct.

Nice! Would be curious to see the difference when you get the CA finish on.

Some very nice rings, I’ve been asked to make a set for my daughter and son-in-law.

Ok Wellington! I know to practice but how do I practice if you don’t show me how?
Great Bentwoods they are beautiful! you are a lot farther along than me with bentwoods can’t wait to see a blog. I did find a really great piece at Instructables.com but I forgot who it was from and can’t seem to find it now. Keep it up! Thanks for sharing.
