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. "

Beech and Blue Spruce wood ring

This lovely combination of woods (beech and blue spruce) is a man's ring. This ring is a size 9, 6mm wide with a 4mm band of spruce.

Walnut Wood Rings

Walnut. Dark brown, honey toned and almost black... walnut comes in so many shades and grains, it's spectacular. Alone or in combination with other woods.


Blue spruce is a beauty with walnut.

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.

Man's juniper heart wood ring

This ring is a size 12 ~ 6mm wide. Spectacular Juniper heartwood with a blue spruce band. On it's way to Iowa.

Braided Juniper heart wood ring

This ring has a braided juniper heartwood band. It is not carved. David prepared 3 thin strands of juniper and braided them by hand to create the inlaid band for this beautiful koa ring. This is a tiny ring (just under a size 4) and 5mm wide.

Stone and Wood Ring

A ring of love.


The gentleman enlisted the help of his Dad who sent us three kinds of wood from the family farm. Oak, cherry wood and walnut.

The couple decided on two of these woods to use for her engagement ring.

They had found a crystal on a hike they had taken and wanted to somehow incorporate a bit of the stone. David crafted the ring of walnut and oak wood they sent us and embedded the center band with crushed stone from the found crystal. The ring is a size 6 and 4mm wide.

"Wow!! The ring is absolutely beautiful! My parents really enjoyed seeing the ring and were really impressed by it. Thank you so much making this beautiful ring that we can now have to show our love for each other. We can't express to you enough how grateful and blessed we feel to have it. I guess the next thing that we will have to set up are the plans for the wedding bands."
