Making wooden rings is a fun and interesting hobby that anyone can
learn fairly quickly, no matter if they have woodworking experience
or not. The process requires very few tools, inexpensive materials,
and just about everyone will be able to turn out a nice looking
ring on their very first effort. Inside these pages are step by
step instructions as well as photographic examples of over fifty
rings, and more than 400 color images that describe every aspect of
the process. This includes detailed chapters on wood selection, as
well as basic construction methods, gluing, inlaying, shaping, and
finishing. Each of these processes is described in detail, complete
with pictures and explanations so that anyone can follow along and
make an excellent looking ring. A wooden ring is more than just a
piece of jewelry, it is a traditional item with historical and
cultural significance. Wooden rings were some of the very first
pieces of jewelry ever made, and they have a tradition that is
almost as old as woodworking itself. Since the discovery of how to
work precious metals, wooden ring making has become a forgotten art
that only a few still practice today. With this book, anyone can
make a truly beautiful and one of a kind ring that is a statement
to craftsmanship and the time honored tradition of woodworking.
This book contains everything I wish I knew when I started
making acoustic guitars over fifteen years ago. It is not an ABC
book, but a companion that teaches many of the things that the
other books leave out. In these pages are instructions for making
tools, cutting blanks, inlaying exotic woods, and hand finishing
guitars. The methods described revolve around doing more with less,
and getting more out of the tools already in the shop. For the
