Rings

While waiting for my steel to arrive, I decided to try something with some of the odd-sized, left-over woods from past knife handles.

Thought I'd try a shot at making rings out of the woods. For the 1st prototype, I used some Macassar Ebony.

Need to cut off some of the excess on the corners to speed up the rounding of it...

After a bit of rough-sanding @ 60 grit...

And some finer sanding @ 200 grit

I've since sanded up to 900 grit, and applied the 1st coat of Tung Oil.. we'll check in a bit, and see how it looks after the Oil cures..
