These blue spruce and juniper heart wood rings were designed by and created for a couple in Oregon.
"I am so grateful for your hard work, excellent service, and beautiful craftsmanship that have gone into creating our rings and getting them to us.
I had never wanted to wear something flashy, and I had also recently resolved not to buy diamonds because of the ethical issues.
As two musicians who play wooden instruments (flute and clarinet) we appreciate the warmth and soul of wood. There is a liveliness and spirit in my ring that I have never felt in other, metal rings I've worn. When I placed it on my finger, it fit perfectly. I marveled at the subtlety and elegance of the actual ring." Thank you ~ Katherine

Musical wooden rings
This set of Touch Wood wedding rings was designed by a musician couple. They wanted to incorporate wood from each of their instruments. The two narrow bands on these birds eye maple wood rings are Grenadilla and Rosewood. Grenadilla (also called African black wood) is what clarinets are made of and the rosewood is the wood used in a marimba.
Here are some of Mike's comments:
"I don't know if this is a similar experience to a metal ring.... but this ring feels so good.... comforting, even.... a palpable energy! I'm so proud of it, the grenadilla and rosewood go so well together. David's amazing. The craftmanship is to not be believed. "

Walnut Wood Rings
Walnut, spruce and oak wood rings
There is something quite magical about doing custom work.
This very beautiful design was created by a couple in Vancouver, British Columbia.
What folks envision and then what David creates from their vision is artistic collaboration at it's finest.
The process is exciting. I thoroughly enjoy communicating with people as they design their rings, then communicating their desires to David who in turn creates their rings.
These rings are made of walnut, oak, blue spruce. The ring on the left also has a koa liner.
