A Wooden Wedding Ring for Tim

It was Spring.  The birds were just returning to the meadow. . .

Working with Tim; a self described '60 year old semi-retiring medical guy', was a lovely experience. Tim was looking to replace his gold wedding band which he explained had outlived it's wear-ability years ago. He was also looking to set a good environmental example for his grand kids. Tim gave David excellent information in terms of sizing and fit, and he was drawn to Juniper heartwood.  Beyond that he gave David artistic license to create something beautiful.

Just the other day we received this lovely warm letter from Tim ~ and a photo of Tim and Ingrid's hands taken at their daughter's wedding.

"Greetings David and Nicola.

I commissioned a Juniper Heartwood Wedding band from you last year. After I received it in the Spring I started to wear it sparingly because we were prepping the old house to sell, then proceeding with the renovations on the retirement home we moved to. With all that work, I didn't want to risk it harm. I now have the opportunity wear it out to community and events and at Church. The two of us are well worn and inseparable now.

I'm always delighted to wear it (a perfect fit) and Ingrid is joyed with it too. It is truly a work of art, unique in composition, and announces it's presence in a way that jewelry never can. It's subtle, and reflects light with a warmth that only finely polished wood can. The grain flow and contrast suits my heartwood. So a truly grand and sincere thank you for your composition David.  Kindest regards, Tim."

Juniper heart wood rings for another lovely Canadian couple

When Caroline and Loch designed their Touch Wood Rings they described what they liked about the juniper heartwood;

“We love the grain of the juniper heartwood and its varied colours. We would prefer not to have the grain only parallel (horizontal) all of the way around the ring (though we don't mind that for a bit if that is the way the wood goes) or too vertical. We like the natural flowing lines of the grain.”

Here are the rings David made for them. They are lined with birds eye maple and inscribed.


Caroline writes: “ The rings are absolutely gorgeous. They are exactly what we were hoping :) They are absolutely stunning and fit perfectly. Also - we love how you featured the grain of the wood. Thank you so much - we love them.”

Wooden rings for a March 16th Wedding

These striking wooden rings were designed by a couple in Illinois. When they first contacted us they wrote;

"We have been looking at your website for the past few months now, but we loved the idea of getting touch wood rings for our wedding from the very beginning. The wooden rings on your website look beautiful and we would both feel very healthy and balanced to be wearing one. "
