100
Today is the 100th day of the year. It's also the 100th day that I've made at least one ring each day this year. To mark this point I decided to make a group of 100 rings. I started on the evening of day 99 and worked all through today making rings, I worked for 21 hours strait making rings, so far I've made 72 of the 100 rings, and will finish the rest tomorrow. It's been pretty hard, there were many times I thought that there was not way I was going to be able to keep going. I kept a steady pace of 3-4 rings an hour, depending on the wood. I've also been documenting this process and will be putting together a video once I finish. I'm going to be posting the rings altogether in one lump post. I've been making a wide range of sizes in simple bands then a few designed rings in each wood. The wood I'm using for the rings is Guayacan, Tulipwood, Tamboti, Osage Orange, Mopani, Redheart, and Ebony.
Here are a few sneak peeks of what I'm working on.
Here are all my 100 ring blanks set out
A little more then mid way through.
