Congratulations!....And by the look of it, you can still pop a top off a beer bottle should the situation arise.

How does the sound compare to, say, a Cedar wedding ring, when you drop it into the sink?

It's seriously beautiful though, Beau. And remember, whatever happens throughout your life together, you'll always have wood.

Thanks Big Kahuna! I hope so.
I made her a full wooden ring out of African blackwood and Brazilian RW before I bought her the real thing. Wooden rings are great looking things and i didn't realise professionals charge so much for them. Another side business for luthiers using up scrape wood.

The ring on the right is clearly made from the headstock of a Mya Moe. Is that from the bits that are left over from a slothead?

I just had some thinnish african blackwood laying around after i bought a "bargain box" from Gilmer woods for $25- i got a few head plates out of it and bridges plus inlay bits...and an engagement ring
I recently got snakewood bargain box from them- great buy for $35

Congrats!
Another good thing about wooden rings is you don't need to go all the way to Mordor just to burn them up.

Glad she didn't try to save some bucks and go with a laminate.

Now you need a koa inlaid watch to go with your ring.
