I have made turned some rings and find they break pretty quickly. I tried using resin impregnated wood intended for knife scales and find they last longer, but still break.
My son is getting married and wants a wood ring. Before I tell him it is impossible, any ideas?
He now wears a coconut wood ring he bought in Hawaii for$10. Ugly as anything, but it has lasted 1 year without breaking. So that makes me think of black palm; the wood is available, would it be any more durable than hardwoods?
