The choice of tree species
For the manufacture of rings need branch with a diameter of about 2-3 cm. There are more than solid wood and softer. Brought from the garden branch pears, cherries, apricots - an excellent material. Delivered from suitable landing branch poplar, aspen.
Broken wind branch rational to choose - less work. They always fit in a lot, and in the country after a windy day.
We need these tools:
- I saw with fine teeth;
- awl;
- knife;
- chisel;
- file.
They certainly have in the house, inexpensive, sold in any hardware store.
Procedure
First of all, we should draw a sketch of the finished product. And can get started right away, hoping that looking at the shape of the future products will be able to come up with the best design.
It should be cut lumber circular shape - to cut off part of the branch. Its diameter is already defined in the length of it should comply with the phalanx of a finger. Ring, the part that will be worn on the finger, can be much smaller than a decorative piece, a ring. The main thing that the finished product does not restrict the mobility of the finger was not only beautiful but also convenient.
At the site of the cut should draw a circle contours phalanx paltsa- not in the center, and with a shift-by-side. Cover part will be stronger due to this.
The entire length must be divided in half, put the markup.
From this line of retreat on both sides of 0.5 cm - as a result of the thickness of the ring is equal to 1 cm, it will be located in the center of the ring, underneath.
With the help of a fine-toothed saw blade is necessary to cut off the excess wood in that part of the bar, which is located a ring.
Proceed to remove the central part of the future of the ring, its core. You will need a knife and chisel.
Remove the crust, with a file to align all of the surfaces.
Round file line the inside of the ring and try it.
On the decorative side to draw the desired pattern.
Which is better - to decorate the ring thread or create any geometric shape from a triangle to the stars, flower, butterfly? It all depends on personal preference. It is better to do what dictates intuition and inspiration.
Finishing touch
Not only the shape can be in any of the rings, but also the color. Before you cover it with paint or varnish, it is better to wait for some time: a couple of days of wood fibers completely evaporate moisture. Red, green, purple, golden or crimson, black - what should be created by the ring?
