Ring made from a 109 year-old piece of Orange Brazilian Rosewood. I was given the piece of wood by Dan Tanner, a real cool guitar maker I know who works in Sardinia, Ohio. Because of the age, it has acquired a mellow chocolate color and the medulary rays (the black stripes) get darker as well which gives a more dramatic character to the ring. The coolest thing about this ring though is simply the age. Just the idea that this wood was around before even my grandmother was born gives it history. something one can ponder every once in a while.
