faith, hope and love

This is a ring Emily and I made for my mother-in-law- "faith, hope & love". I made the ring with teak on the inside and maple on the outside (which makes it strong and unique). Emily custom engraved the ring with "faith", "hope" and "love" with flying birds in between each word. On the bottom we engraved initials of as many family members as we could fit to remind her she's got a lot of people who love her. My mother-in-law just had surgery for breast cancer so we wanted to give her something special that she can wear while she's recovering to encourage her.

Black And White Ebony Ring

This ring is a real eye catcher! Black & white ebony is a rare wood mostly found in the country of Laos, in Southeast Asia. The wood is so exotic looking that I needed to do very little to make a good looking ring. The wood also has an interesting Vanilla-like scent to it. But once the protective coat is applied, you can't smell anything.

Brand New! 109 year-old Ring

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.
