Post#1 @ 07-08-05 , 08:49 AM Sorry, but I couldn't resist using that title. The client made the wooden section on a lathe, and I came up with a method of enclosing it. He has a thing for woodworking, and wished to incorporate his obsession with his work with the symbol of his being married.

Wow David, what a gorgeous ring. The wood is incredible, is it mahogany? It's a perfectly balanced design...Nicely done.

Post#3 @ 07-08-05 , 09:46 AM It's an exotic hardwood called "redheart." Thanks for your compliment. Do you think the wood would burn if we had to size it?

David knowing your penchant for teaching us something, I'd guess this is a trick question on your part. How about you answer it...

I'd like to know.

Post#6 @ 07-08-05 , 10:49 AM The ring is designed so that the wood can be removed for sizing, then replaced. I have a few new wood blanks to be used should the present one get destroyed by some means.

Very beautiful, David.

How do you size the wood ? LOL

I'm betting that it will not burn.

Looks a little like Coco bolo.
