I found an item that, the ladies like, and will buy. :) wood bangle bracelets. :D One is from a white oak burl, and one from cherry burl.

Those are really neat and are on my to-do list if I can ever get to it. I really like the Cherry burl one. What's the inside/outside diameter?

[Dennis Simmons]

The inside is 2 1/2 small, 2 5/8 medium, 2 3/4 large. My wife needs a 2 3/8. I have a 1/4 in plywood board, with holes to size the ladies with. I only take orders for the bracelets. The outside is plus 3/8 for large, to plus 1/4 for very small. I like what looks good to me. The width is 7/8 to 3/4. I use three chuck set ups to do these.

Nice work Dennis! Those really look good!

[David E Keller]

Those are pretty, Dennis! What are you using to finish them?

[Robert McGowen]

I have to agree with everyone else, those are nice!

[Jake Helmboldt]

I say it's time for a tutorial. Anyone else concur?

Nice work Dennis, I'm sure the ladies do like those.

Absolutely.

[Greg Just]

very nice. A tutorial would be great. I just purchased the pendant chuck at the AAW Symposium and a bangle would make a nice set. What are you getting for the bangles?

[Baxter Smith]

Very nice! Since I already have some wood in mind, the tutorial sounds great!

[Bernie May]

can you describe how you make them in a bit more detail? Pictures would help. thanks.

[Steve Schlumpf]

WOW! Those both look great! I can see why they would be hot sellers! Very nice!

[Kathy Marshall]

Very Cool Dennis!
Those are something that have been on my list of things to do, just haven't got around to it yet but seeing those beauties is enough to move it higher on the list!

[Dennis Simmons]

I will post some pictures, on how I make them. I'm not sure how to post several quotes for answers.
The finish is gloss lacquer, I get $50 now, but I live in a rural location, in Atlanta area these go for $ 65-75.

Who makes the pendant chuck, I have been asked to make some pendents to match.

Very cool Dennis. Not only nice to turn out some salable items but what better use than to add a little bling to a woman.

Dennis those are beautiful. I don't wear bracelets myself but I know a few sisters-in-law who would love them. How do I go about getting you to sell me some?
