Fall days and Touch Wood Rings

Fall is floating her paintbrush over the aspen leaves and willows, and it has begun.
October on the meadow. Our favourite time of year.

We took time away from the homestead in September. David was scheduled for a long awaited back surgery. We were gone quite a bit longer than we anticipated but we are so pleased with the outcome of what appears to have been a very successful surgery. And we are very happy to be home on the meadow again. The big city is a tad overwhelming to us these days, even though I lived there for more than a decade in my twenties and thirties...

Here are some photos of rings that David has created over the past few months and a few pics of fall days on the meadow.

Green wedding rings, wooden rings from touch wood rings

This beautiful design combines koa and purpleheart wood. The narrow bands on each of the rings is spiraled. This is a Hawaiian koa wood ring using koa wood that changes colour quite dramatically so that it combines a very golden toned koa and the darker richer koa wood. This is a man's ring.
This ring is walnut with a blue spruce band. The blue spruce has a natural 'knot' center front. It's actually more of a 'bird's eye' than a knot :)
The other ring in this set is a classic koa wood ring.

This man's wooden ring has a juniper heartwood liner and a zebra wood exterior.
