I finished this twice, the first one flew off the lathe at the last second and rolled away to the abyss
Plywood (pine ->birch)
Burned (Walnut)
Eucalyptus
This one nearly caught fire while sanding... my fingers did not appreciate the heat.
Jatoba
Jatoba is my best guess, it came from an old trashed pallet
Black Walnut
Maple
Cedar
Honey Pine

My favorite is the one that came from a smashed pallet. Hm. I need to lie down.

I used to have a wooden ring so I could always knock on wood. I lost it and this made me want another...

This is great work, you have a skill and should start selling them!

In Vintas, a wooden ring is still a wooden ring regardless how pretty.
Thefallenhorde
I'm sure they've got better things to do than make wooden rings

That's so beautiful. You should let us know if you ever decide to put some on etsy. I would love to buy one.
AstralBeast808
I want to see you make one!
Thefallenhorde
/a/Njbgk if you want to try
AstralBeast808
That actually seems easier than I imagined it would be! I'll be sure to give it a shot.

Should do one from Hedgeapple tree: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maclura_pomifera, lovely natural bright yellow wood.

I second this motion.

What do you use to shy them? I want one that doesn't end up sticky, but haven't found one yet.
Thefallenhorde
Most use an enamel clear spray, it does get a little sticky if wet, the purple heart is finished with danish oil, gives it less shine 1/2
Thefallenhorde
Its much smoother, and doesn't get sticky
BalrogDestroyer
Awesome! Thanks.

It all began with the forging of the great rings. Three were given to the Elves immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings....
Thefallenhorde

feathersoft
I't pretty much obligatory :)
exlurker42
If only it took a mountain of doom to destroy a wooden ring. . .
Thefallenhorde
touch one against the eucalyptus one after sanding, that'd melt it
exlurker42
Wait what?
Thefallenhorde
while sanding the eucalyptus ring, it got so hot it nearly caught fire, i had to wear thick work gloves so i wouldnt melt my fingers...
exlurker42
Oh okay. I was not connecting your sentence correctly in my head. Though I suspect my tungsten carbide band would laugh at the heat.
exlurker42
Still interesting though. Why did the eucalyptus get hotter?
