How to Make Wood and Copper Wedding Bands/Rings

Hand Made Veneers Wrapped Around Copper for a Strong and Easy Wedding Ring.

Every year my wife Kelly and I retire our wedding rings and make new ones. The challenge is to come up with a new design and get creative each fall. This year we got some beautiful zebrawood, maple and ebony from Kencraft and glued them up in a pattern. Using a block plane we make thin shavings that are then wrapped around a copper pipe. Copper is a great metal to work with because it’s soft enough to stretch to the perfect size.
