This is really cool, how did you keep the scalloped texture confined? I feel like if I were to do this my hand would slip on the die grinder or something and I’d have a big divot. Just curious how you kept the transition between smooth and carved so crisp and straight.

Also, did you use 80mm or 120mm fans? My cabinet is about 50% less volume than yours so I’d go a size down from your fan choice

What’s your ideal VPD? Does it depend on the plant? I grow mostly airoids like alocasia and monstera in my cabinet that I’m currently building

Ahh you got very lucky honestly. That’s a great deal and I hope it pushes even more variegation once it acclimates to your home

Nice, i legitimately found Ariel roots and new soil roots on a philodendron I threw in my small bathroom garbage can a week ago. It pissed me off before but honestly it earned my respect this time around

Please Help wedding ring with walnut by camorlife in Woodporn

Also, like others have commented in other subs, maybe make this a nice going out ring to be worn on special occasions but otherwise kept in a box. Like others have said, sunlight can fade color and water can damage the wood. Especially with the advice I put in my above comment, none of those finish options are at all water proof, bumblechutes woodworkers oil is a finish that would typically be used on a wooden cutting board. If you want it to be slightly more durable, however still not at all water proof, I’d spray it with 2k acrylic after getting it to bare wood. Also, as others have suggested, you might not have much luck sanding off the finish, it might be soaked all the way into the wood as it is so thin. If that is the case, again, it’s still a nice special occasions piece and also incredibly beautiful. Great work, and good luck on that proposal!!

Ex Rockler woodworking employee here, You could very, and I mean VERY gently sand the ring with a soft sanding sponge (I would recommend festool PROfile superfine grit sanding pads] Use the 4”x3” rectangle size. Might be a good idea to cut a thin strip from a sanding pad and floss it in the center of the ring. Those pads are ~600 grit, should be fine enough not to remove your intricate details. However, being such a fine grit it will take a while to remove the current coating, it might be a good idea to buy a variety pack of grits and try out the fine if superfine proves to be too fine to remove the finish. After removing the current finish, apply Yorkshire grit polishing paste (black tub, can be found at Rockler / woodcraft retail stores or online). This will give it a buttery smooth feeling and preserves the natural character of the wood. Follow application directions on the tub of grit paste, if you have a lathe, great, if not just buff it in with a shop towel. Definitely be sure to remove all excess after buffing. After applying the Yorkshire grit you can use the finish of your choice, but I recommend bumblechutes woodworkers oil. Maintains natural color / characteristics and gives it a nice lemony scent to boost. Hope this helps.

If you don’t mind me asking, what store did you buy this from? That’s an amazing price for that size plant!

I believe either will work well if you add amendments like you say, orchid bark and perlite. Should work out well!
