Wooden ring with copper insert made out of Australian silky oak – Part 2

If you read my previous post here you can view my finished wooden ring with a copper core made out of silky oak from Queensland, Australia. There is no CA finish on it. All I did was use some bees wax and micro mesh pads to polish the wood on this ring. It is not water sealed etc and this finish is very delicate but one thing is for sure – NO CHEMICALS were used. Since I made a few wooden rings and some of them were finished with CA and polished afterwards. This type of finish should last long long time but some people prefer no use of any chems on their jewelry. Even with CA finish I still would take this wooden ring off before any water contact but if you forget you will not damage it or most likely you will not have to refinish it again. Different options, depends on what your preference is. Photos are with different light and some pics look the same but I was trying to rotate this wooden ring to show you some of the timber patterns etc. Queensland silky oak is so beautiful and looks amazing from different angles and with different light source. BTW, this one is SOLD but I just made another one from silky oak timber with a copper core and I will list it on ETSY.
