Bentwood Rings and Big Waves

Bentwood Ring Refinishing Ocean Exposure

In the 10 years we’ve made Bentwood Rings, we’ve prided ourselves on making wooden rings that stand the test of time. Although our rings are designed to hold up to rigorous daily wear, in some circumstances the finish may wear off within a couple of years (a lot sooner than expected). Wearing a wooden ring in salt water while surfing is one of those circumstances.  🙂

Hawaiian Koa Ring – After Constant Ocean Exposure, Without Finish

Here’s a note we received from one of our customers:

Janna & Frank
This is a well-loved ring. I live in Maui with my wife and we are constantly in the ocean. This ring has put up with so much and I have really put off refinishing because I don’t want to be without. I have been wearing a Qalo silicon ring and it’s the worst. I hope this ring is not too far gone. …

Hawaiian Koa Ring – After Refinishing

We were able to restore the ring’s original Hawaiian Koa color, and apply new coats of durable finish. We’re delighted to be sending this Hawaiian Koa Bentwood ring back to its owner, fully restored. We can only imagine the waves this ring will face in the future.
