“How do I make a bent wood ring?” <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Each week I receive emails asking this question, or some variation of it.<\/p>\n

When making wooden rings was mostly a hobby or sideline business for me, I would often spend quite a lot of time responding to emails with instructions detailing the steps involved in making a bentwood ring.<\/p>\n

I do enjoy sharing and helping folks, particularly when it’s a fella wanting to make a ring for his wife or fiance.<\/p>\n

But this has become a full-time job now, for which I’m very thankful. I enjoy making rings and the fact that I can do what I enjoy for a living is overwhelming.<\/p>\n

Some of the folks I’ve helped have gone on to start their own online shops. There’s nothing wrong with that, but it doesn’t make much business sense for me to continue instructing in making bentwood rings.<\/p>\n

That’s not to say there’s some top-secret trick to it. Not at all. In fact, there’s more information available on the subject now than there was only a few years ago, when I had to experiment for myself and further refine my own techniques and processes through trial and error. The “tips and tricks” are readily-available if you do a bit of searching.<\/p>\n

All that said…<\/p>\n

I would still like to offer up an article on making laminated, cut-out rings. Though not quite as durable as bent rings, they are stronger than solid-cut rings and allow for inlay looks and wood combinations quite easily.<\/p>\n
