Mid stage ring looks like a tyre on a wooden frame. Anyone like tyre rings? #bespokeshields #bentwoodring #ebony #wooden #wood #mahogany #weddingring #engagmentring #chunky #tyre #cartyre

Last ring of the week is an unusual ring design I'm working on in walnut. The design was taken from an iron age original in bronze. #bespokeshields #bentwoodring #ring #wooden #wood #jewellery #walnut #european #ironage #celtic #boii #hardwood #weddingring #engagmentring

Finished commissioned custom ring. Ebony (Ahmarrah) on a Brazilian Mahogany lining. Custom details are the 4mm brass inscription (ΟΙΚΟΓΕΝΕΙΑ: 'family' in Greek), and all individual letters are made from scratch and placed on the inside of the ring under several layers of protective coating.

Last ring of the week. A thin whole Cherry ring with an outer brass ring inlay. Unfinished, as the brass needs leveling so it's flush with the wood, then shaping, sanding, coating and buffing. #bentwoodring #bespokeshields #wood #wooden #ring #cherry #brass #inlay #jewellery #woodworking #weddingring #engagmentring

First bentwood ring I’ve made from two types of hardwood: Indian Rosewood (outer layer) and an Olive Ash liner (inner layer). Finally the ring was buffed to a glassy sheen.

Unlike solid wooden rings, bentwood rings are a lot stronger, more durable and their construction shows off the beautiful grain in a more strinking way. In fact I’ve come across metal rings that break more easily.

Will be making more of differing sizes, widths and made from some more beautiful wood species. watch this space.
