Not truly turnings.....done without a lathe.

I made the blanks, then stuffed them on an expanding sanding spindle & chucked them into my drill press. All the shaping & finishing work was done with files & sandpaper.

Many Rings! :)

Walnut & Aspen Sandwich, with colored pencil Inlay. NOT happy with the results of the epoxy, going to try a different approach on a second one.

All this done on a benchtop drill press, primarily with nothing but sandpaper. Most sanded to 2000 grit. Finished while spinning with a wipe-on poly.

Yes, Kids, I am beginning to be Jonesing for a mini-Lathe.

Many, many, years ago I read a science fiction story. The only thing I remember about it was that the gal could tell the guy was rich. He was wearing a wooden ring; not only that, it was walnut.

Therefore I deduce that you must be a multi-billionaire.

I enjoyed the pics. It is really neat to be able to produce things like your rings.

Enjoy,
