Popular Post therealrsr Posted August 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 8, 2021 In November I am planning to give that sassy scottish redhead in my profile a ring. She was out of town for the weekend so I started making ring boxes to put a nice touch on it. These are very rough and unfinished, but I am asking for preference in style. The two are purple heart and African ? (scrap I forgot the name of but a yellow hue when finished). I would ask my daughters but don't trust them to keep a secret. Plus a Hoyo Elegante August '20 while watching the storm approach. Burn line is frustrating but that's the only issue for sure, after the hump is was chocolate bliss. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WLC Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 I like them both, my personal preference is the second one. Biggest question is which one makes the ring "pop" the most? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevrknow Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 3rd one. But I make Japanese kitchen knife handles so I am partial to mixing woods together to get a "pop" so to speak. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeerPimp Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Third. The center wood piece will draw your eyes to the ring in the center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

therealrsr Posted August 9, 2021 Author Share Posted August 9, 2021 Thanks all appreciate the feedback. I am leaning third as well. I am going to take @WLC suggestion and finish all 3 to see which highlights the ring the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tdm_86 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Option 3 looks really nice to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Presidente Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Nice work! I bought a jigsaw Friday and broke it Saturday. If you need a hand.....PM me. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WLC Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Amending my answer. I missed the first pic and only thought there were 2 choices. I definitely like number 3 (which I mistook in my first post as 2) the best. But my statement of whichever one makes the ring pop the most still stands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fezztone Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Very thoughtful idea. # 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post therealrsr Posted August 23, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 23, 2021 Update: It is hard doing this without her catching on...I liked the #3 the most and went with it to the point of thinking support pillows. Not nearly done but I am happy with the box. Then the "Doh!"... It doesnt hold the ring. So #2 is coming along now but still 6x sand/tongue oil behind #3 in the pics. I do like the presentation of it open box. Various hinges on order, but if I have enough room to bevel the back I will do hidden. I get this is pretty boring compared to cc's but I am not good at secrets so venting here. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am St. Louis to the core, so Budweiser is like mother's milk. If there is a way to incorporate part of a can in the build I absolutely will and must do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
