How to make a wooden ring

Step 5: Sanding galore

Use a small drum sander attachment to sand the inside of the ring to the appropriate width. I used a larger drum sander attachment to sand away the machine marks on the outside, but you can use whatever method you want.

It´s importent to make the wood´n peace in te right direction vertikal like the tree grows
Or the better way glue 4 peaces of wood together and then make the ring.

Hey,
Two questions. One is can you use like ANY wood with a grain pattern? and would this be suitable for my girlfriend if done properly?? I love the look of them!

Can't help you much with the girlfriend problem. Maybe tell her it was done with love so it's worth more than any gold?

A hardwood would be the best to avoid splitting. I I like the look of the darker woods for these a lot.

I found this Instructable helpful when sanding my rings! It works on the wooden and metal ones! This is my picture of it which may be a bit more simple!

Just made one of these this weekend using pretty much the exact same methods here (hadn't even looked online for instructions...LOL)...anyways, I found that a Rotary tool with a drum sander attachment will work nicely as well!
