My grandson picked a Diamondcast "Oil Slick" ring blank and I had only the one on hand. After turning the previous two (mostly) successfully, I had the confidence to cut into this one. Black ceramic core feels great and is easy to turn. I think he will be pleased.

FINALLY got some turning therapy. #HotOffTheLathe today - Grandson asked for a ring and he NEVER asks me to make him anything, so I put on hold the commissions in the queue and the fountain pens to make this for him.

The pine cone ring was for me and for practice. Grandson gets the ceramic core opal inlay ring... which was also for practice. I wanted to make a couple of rings before cutting into the blank he actually picked.
