Things I make for adult people

Wanted to share what I do.

Most of the people are couples or to-be couples.

The things I make are wooden rings.

The kind of wooden rings I make are called bentwood rings.

I enjoy what I do and I like that what I make can be used.

I like that my art practice is functional.

I've enjoyed many messages of guys or gals telling me their SO said yes.

The biggest challenge I usually face is telling someone ways to get their SO's ring size without them noticing. It has to be accurate since wooden rings aren't exactly resizable.

Best answer I've been able to give people so far is that they need an accomplice. The friend of the SO to get the info when out shopping and "for fun" getting sized for rings. Best I can suggest. (If you have suggestions that I can pass on, I would seriously love it.)

The second FAQ would probably be if they are strong considering they are wooden rings.

They are definitely strong and durable since this specific kind of wooden ring is made with a layering process of thin wood.

Easiest way to think about it is the difference between ripping a book vs ripping a piece of paper. Its a layered structure with the design so it supports itself when force is applied.

Thanks for letting me share! I like showing what I do with people since most haven't really heard about what I make. I have a link to my Instagram & website on my profile if you would like to see more.
