How to make a napkin ring, that is. Today I put a piece of ebony on the lathe, measured some napkin rings in the china cabinet and started turning. A couple of years ago
A friend had asked for these and Ive been procrastinating making them because I just hadn't stumbled on any turned examples.

Well, turning the napkin rings necessitated a new tool. This time a very narrow parting tool. Had this kitchen knife laying around. Flattened the edge and then put a normal parting tool cutting edge on the back of the knife. Worked better than expected. YMMV.

Got some Perfect 3408 on order that I'll use for a finish.
