the ring

My wife lost her wedding ring. It slipped off her finger during a swam on a beach where we use to go.
The waves movements quicly make it illusive to get it back.
By way of vengeance, I picked a pebble on the beach and made her a ring out of it.
Here are the steps of the design :

The pebble (doesn't wonder what will happen to him)



The same one, sliced


To avoid to much sanding, after marking the inside diameter of the ring, more cutting


Here comes the hollowing out


The inside is sanded, time to even up the outside and to polish it all


The ring finished, all angles polished to avoid sharp edges, only the varnish to get done


And my wife's hand has a new ornament, phew, the worst has been avoided :-)
