Making these wood rings is pretty simple and can be done without many tools. Basically we’re going to take some veneer and boil it in water to make it more pliable. We’ll then coil the veneer onto itself and bonding it with CA glue. You’ll find these rings are much stronger than just drilling a hole into wood and cutting the outside shape. That’s because we won’t have any weak points with endgrain. There will be many layers with straight grain laminated with glue which will make them very strong and durable. I’ll also show you how I added these accent lines with a contrasting veneer between 3 coils. Let’s get started.

Dude, the porn Music hurts my brains. Awesome rings though. Thumbs up.
So you retire the previous year's rings because they don't last longer than a year?
love the sandwich veneer to give it contrast
I was thinking of doing this by cutting my own walnut veneer. How thick is optimal? And what would you say is the minimum length? Thanks for the great video!
I see you retire the rings…do they not last?
What thickness would you recommend for the veneer if im cutting it myself?
+Make Something, do you retire the rings because of wear and tear? How could you make the rings stronger so that you wouldn't have to do that?
I'm attempting this but my veneer keeps splitting. It's been boiling for ages and its straight grain. Any tips?
I'm having a hell of a time getting the veneer to bend even after boiling it for hours, my grain looks straight.
do you use the CA activator on the glue?
I'm getting married in September and I'm making these for myself and my fiance. Thanks for the inspiration!
I'm at wits end. I've tried three times and every time the veneer comes out of the boil it breaks, it's not pliable enough. I've tried three different kinds of mahogany and it always breaks as I try to coil and tape. Should I just go for a two hour boil?
Thank you for the video, following the instructions I made some nice rings, they will be our wedding rings :)!
Is there anywhere in Canada that sells veneer that isn't crazy priced? That same pack is almost $95 on Amazon.ca 😑
What types of wood did you use for the rings?
what's a good sealant that won't change the color of the wood?
Thanks for showing how to make wooden rings! My brother-in-law cut one out for his wife from an old skateboard. And my husband and I made 2 of them yesterday but were worried about how strong and if they would hold up, so thank you for showing us how to make strong wooden rings.
Is it possible to make these with an accent diamond on the wife's? Maybe making them thicker?
Very cool project!! Like the idea of new rings each year!!! And the display idea!!
Can you also use wood shavings from hand planes or bench planes?
