How to Make a Wood and Copper Ring from a Pipe Fitting
This ring combines
the look of copper metal with the beauty of green Teekri wood. The metal is on
the outside of the ring, and the wood is on the inside. For the tutorial, a
lathe is used, though you can do it by hand if you are patient.
This is how to make
a wood and copper ring from a copper pipe fitting. This fun woodworking project
combines wood and metal, with the metal on the outside and the wood on the
inside. There are complete instructions, tips, and fun ideas throughout the
post that will help you complete the project. Enjoy.
You can use any
type of wood and metal that you have in your shop, or you can buy something
special for the project. The steps are easy, and you can create handmade wooden
rings and metal
rings from any combination of materials following these same directions in the
tutorial.
Some good choices
for wood are Ebony Wood, Koa Wood, or Rosewood. Your metal band can also be
something else like a silver ring, or titanium ring. Just make sure it’s flat
on the inside and outside.
These are slip
fittings, which are meant to be used to join two longer lengths of copper pipe
into one. They come in several sizes, and these are all 3/4 inch.
This is a perfect
size. It’s large enough that you can accommodate most finger sizes, but it’s
also not so large that it would feel too big to wear.
