Below are pictures that show my process in making a 110 Ring. The material and the order the wood is glued together changes, but the rest stays the same.
 |
| 1. Pieces of wood or veneer are cut into perfect squares. |
 |
| 2. Wood glue is used to permanently bond the pieces together. |
 |
| 3. They are clamped tightly while the glue dries. |
 |
| 4. A hole is drilled in the center, as close to or smaller than the ring size. |
 |
| 5. The wood form is forced tightly onto a mandrel. |
 |
| 6. ...and then shaped on a lathe. |
 |
| 7. Final shaping and sanding to get the correct size. A few coats of natural wax to protect it. |
 |
| 8. The final ring, ready to be worn. |
