Nice 👍🏻 Never tried bentwood rings, I always do solid ones. Maybe I will give it a try. Can't wait for part 2😁

[@DreamwoodRings]

Thank you! I don't do a ton of bentwood rings anymore but they are useful in some circumstances!

[@guidelineuk4876]

What CA glue did you use?

[@DreamwoodRings]

We used a thin flex CA. shopdreamwood.com/products/insta-flex-flexible-thin-ca-glue-bsi-adhesives

[@jurisveratti4494]

what is the veneer thickness in mm ? 0,6 ? Would 0,2 mm be too slim ?

[@DreamwoodRings]

I think slimmer would work ok. It makes it easier to bend for sure. I believe what I use is around .4mm. of after wrapping it's too thin of a ring you can always add another strip as well!

i'm wondering how u go about listing and selling these. do u make all your rings in common sizes and then sell them or make a display ring of each style u want to sell and then make to order? or what would be the best way for someone new who hasn't sold any yet but has made some for fun. thanks.

[@DreamwoodRings]

Hey! I started by making a bunch and just having them for sale either to friends or family or some small markets around here. I maybe started with 50. However now I make a sample, photograph it and post it for sale and then everything is made to order.

[@gamersparadise743]

@@DreamwoodRings thanks for the response. another question if i may. when u sold them to the small markets u asked them what sizes they would want before u made them?
