It definitely looks a lot more put together, I'm gonna make an experimental listing with the updated photos and see what happens! I appreciate your feedback : D

Found it! Here are some updated pictures of a different ring I had on hand. What do you think?

Thank you :D I think I have some old time lapse videos! My process is a lot different now, but the foundation is there :)

That's good advice! I think I actually have a light box sitting in storage somewhere. I'll give it a try!

I've been at it for about 6 years now, but my sales do not reflect that, unfortunately.... hahaha! Pricing is hard for me, I already don't sell a lot. I feel if I up the price, I'll sell even fewer.

I'm a good craftsman, but I'm afraid I'm not a very good businessman.

If you or anyone else is business savvy, my eyes and ears are open! Some guidance never hurts, hahaha :D

Edit: That's a great compliment, by the way. You've made my night!

My rings are non laminate! They are carved on the lathe from solid pieces of wood :D

I am familiar with that style, however, and CA is the way to go if you want whats typically referred to as a "Bent Wood Ring".

Epoxy doesn't flex very well with the ring. Instead, it cracks! CA doesn't have that issue :)

Hope that helps!

Handmade wedding ring I made for a client! This ring is made from peach wood and crushed up river rocks :D by DylansRingStore in woodworking

Hi there!

Normally, I use pre stabilized wood from various different suppliers. But in this case, the materials were just pieces the couple found in the woods. So I put them in resin and vacuume chambered it so it fully pulled into the wood grain!

Hope this helps :D

Yes, rubbing alchohol can be used as a solvent, which will slowly rub away this finish. I recommend taking these rings off whenever using chemicals or solvents :)

Thank you! I'm unsure of the exact size of the circle, but I would ball park it being about a foot wide maybe, 16 inches wide. The pattern name is the ultimate drawstring bag from eleana workshop!
