i made these for my wife, my two sisters and a few close friends for christmas gifts this year.
the bracelets couldn't be a surprise, as i had to ask folks what size bangle they wore, but they were all very excited when they received the final product. all but one of the bracelets fit their intended recipient. my sister gave me a bad dimension, and her bracelet didn't fit over her hand. i guess that means that i get to make her another one. :rolleyes:
the wood species are noted in the file names. all bracelets have mahogany and ash veneer banding accents.
all bracelets have the same finish - two coats of sanding sealer, three coats of wipe-on lacquer and two coats of rennaissance wax. steel wool buff between all coats of finish and prior to applying the wax.
comments are critiques are welcome.
thanks for looking.
