Cat eye rings from walnut & brass. I'm just posting some older stuff here cause I keep not photographing my new work and instead just making more new work. Oops!

Sometimes you need to spend a full morning of bending. Looking forward to the combinations I'm going to put together... then carve them.

Yup! Still making bent wood rings. This one is elm burl and lapis lazuli wrapped around a bent steer horn core.

Learned a lot from this little ring. Spiral bend of ash and purpleheart with a copper inlay for support. Also my first time doing an edge inlay with malachite. There are blemishes, but I've learned enough to make the next one awesome.

Another steer horn experiment! One of the things I really like about horn is how well it holds shape. So I can do a spiral bend like this and cover it with zebrawood. So I had some fun with this one... added a subtle infinity-shaped inlay of tourmaline.

314 followers · 606 posts · Server mastodon.artNew ring experiment! Been playing with bending and shaping steer horn for rings. This is my first finished one. Steer horn liner and Carpathian elm outer.
Already have ideas for improvements. :)

Two experiments in one! This one's for me. Needed a metal core because I wanted to make a thumb ring that I could use as a bottle opener. Also never bent a wood liner for a copper ring before. Results with smoked eucalyptus turned out pretty nice.

Lacewood is a right pain to bend into a ring. But it shines up and catches light in such a cool way. Worth the work.

Yup, still making wooden rings! This is an itty-bitty version of my most popular style. Walnut, ash, turquoise. Size 3 3/4.

Red jasper inlaid in ash with a cherry liner. Yup, I still do non-carved bentwood rings, too. :)

314 followers · 606 posts · Server mastodon.artI *really* like the way this experiment turned out. European beech wrapped around purpleheart, then carved through and sealed. What other imagery would you like to see carved like this?

Finally decided to finish this one by sealing in the carving with medium CA. I love this look. Still trying to decide if I like it better than unsealed. Thoughts welcome.
