Making a Wooden Ring

First job is to select the wood, my supply came from the back garden yew tree.

The wood came from logs and they are then axed to correct size. Now the small block is cut out. This gives the ring its width and best grain is chosen. The block of wood then is marked out with the hole position to give the best grain position. The outer ring is marked and cut away carefully by chisel. The middle is drilled out, having a nice drum drill of the correct size is best. Now the ring is ready to be shaped.
