Flamin' Bangle

[BangleGuy]

Hi all! I am posting my latest Flame Box Elder and Stainless Steel bangle. I think this one turned out really well. I made it for my wife, but then last weekend I sold it at a woodturning show... Oops! Don't tell her:doh:, I need to make her a replacement!

Thanks for looking,

I'm a big fan of that :2tsup:... are they a kit or do you make the metal parts too?

I've got to get around to making the ones I have here :rolleyes:

I've never seen the like of these before - I love the insert idea. And the timber looks fantastic.

Well Done.

Gorgeous.

I thought it was a wedding band at first, then I checked your site to see that those products are on the way. Yep, definitely do that :)

Thats beautiful, Must get some of them the wife would love it.

Interesting you say Oops when you sold it, but I suspect that you wanted to make another one. :U

Love the effect you managed to get from the wood.

Thanks! I make the metal parts and sell them as a kit. For those down under, you can find them at Pop's Shed. I have been using CA as a finish and really enjoy using crafters foam as a wiper to apply a thick coat. This one has three coats of CA and was wet sanded with micromesh up to 12,000 grit. I need to get busy this weekend and replace my wife's before she notices that it is gone! Youch!

Love the effect you managed to get from the wood.

The timber is really amazing and all I am doing is showing off what nature does inside of certain trees. This one is not dyed or modified in any way. I hope to get more of this very special flame box elder, but it is rare. I have about 8 more blanks and then it is gone :doh:

I bought some Red Mallee, Gimlet and Coolibah burls from a source here in the states. I am anxious to try to make some bangles from this material. I think the Mallee could be equally stunning. I have a free 15 page if anyone is interested. Just shoot me an email or PM. I am hoping to turn some more pens before too long. So much to do, so little time! :U
