Thank you for this! My partner took me hiking around a local trail and proposed to me on a fallen tree with seats carved into it yesterday. I'm going to find a way to make thin sheets out of the slice of wood I take from that log where we both sat and make a band for him out of it instead of a boring and cheap silver or gold band men tend to get.

@LostBiden ewww I'm telling your wife bout this comment.

If you use a vegetable steamer, it makes the wood much more pliable and you get a stronger set after drying. It also doesn't make the wood swell as much as soaking and drying time is greatly reduced.

How long do you steam the wood?

I’ve been on both woodworking and jewelry making deep dives, so I was destined to arrive here

For people who want to give this a try: it gets messy, a lot! Be careful working. The gluing part is a pain in the ass, you can easily break the veneer, you can end up gluing you goves etc. Prepare more veneer than you have in mind. If you want 2 rings, I suggest cutting 4 pieces at least. I tried engraving something on top, I think it is doable but needs practicing. But in the end, I think it is worth it. I got 2 rings at the moment, they are not perfect but I am happy with them. Good luck. And thanks for this insightful guide Dan. I could not do it without knowing all these. Cheers.

One thing you can also use that most everyone has on hand for glue ups is parchment paper. It provides a perfect non stick surface and is also paper thin so it would keep the wood from sticking to anything. I've used this for quite a few of my glue ups in the past.

I can’t wait to try this. I have a really nice black walnut veneer. Thanks for the fantastic tutorial!

Another great job glad to see you going back to the beginning to show process 👍 👍👍

I have a suggestion to possibly make the gluing easier, or specifically to help prevent gluing yourself to your work. Put painter's masking tape on the wood, on the outside, and as you go, peel the tape out of the way as you glue the next layer over the top. This is a technique I use when I use super glue to glue corks on the tenons of clarinets and other woodwinds.

Hey Dan! I love all your videos. You inspired me to start ring making with this video. You're very genuine and truly care about expanding your knowledge for the craft and passing that knowledge to others. Keep up the amazing work! I cannot wait to see what you bring us in the future!

Thank you for this!!! My partner proposed to me last August on our anniversary. I wanna collect some wood from our first trip/ hikes together and make a band for him since he doesn't have one. All the valentine's stuff I've seen elsewhere has been pretty lackluster and I thought I'd give this a try!

This is amazing, since I'm a broke guy and I will make some for my boys as a present!

very nice. I had made some "scrim shaw" rings from a piece of PVC..I took a scap of pvc and cut them with a hack saw. sanded the edges and rounded the side just a tad..with a Dremmel or Exacto blade knife(whatever you might have) I first sketched desin on "ring" and then scratched in the design. Paint or ink then rubbed on..whereas it filled the design grooves..Wiping off the ink/paint carefully..leaving the design visable. not too shabby

Great video! Thank you!

Last comment was before video finished beautiful job bro 😎

Super job

For rings, a lathe is very expensive but a normal power drill is not. Get a longer drill bit, wrap a bunch of masking tape on it until the ring can sit snug on it. For things like sanding and polishing the outside, it'll save you a lot of time.

Nice work!

Hey Dan, good vid, you got me hooked on making these rings. Have buggar all in the way of tools or machinery yet and found the gluing to be somewhat messy. Any tips on gluing the edge of the rings would be appreciated

Great work

Que buena idea, muchas gracias

Nice job your very talented

awesome video

im thinking of something like this .i work with electrical and can’t wear any metal.this looks cool.

Nice one fella :-) I was looking forward to seeing some whittling going on Damn that ring looks good

Very effective 👌🏻

If you soak the wood in hot water, then coil around the socket that’s smaller than the ring, then tape, slip off the socket, put it in a mug of hot water and microwave to steam for a minute, the wood will keep the tighter curl. Then before glue up wrap the socket in clear packing tape the glue doesn’t stick to it. Use watery cheap glue and it soaks thru the glue, stabilizing it and filling the interior making it stronger. The rest looks like exactly what I do. Very nice video.

Love this

Good job

Thanks well done

Thanks for your most excellent step by step tutorial here! I have watched your earlier vids on this and have made a few from Tiger Eye Maple and Black Walnut veneers as gifts and they were well received. Thanks again!

A toothpick, 2 sockets, hot water & sandpaper. Absolutely amazing how, in the right hands, these can be used to make something so nice. Great work! This video was extremely helpful and informative.
