I need a thin ring 1/4", gluing up a thin ring is not possible for me maybe some folks can but not me.
The good thing is I almost always need them in pairs.
So I glue up a normal size ring, this one is holly.
And flatten and smooth it on the lathe, as I have no thickness sander ( I have only a few basic and CHEAP tools)
flattened and smoothed
now glue it on the turning.
Turn the second side flat and smooth it
turn the outside and mark the center
part it with a thin partting tool and I have my 2 thin rings
The trim below the feature ring complete
And the feature ring is glued up.
getting close to finishing the bottom now, dont know why the ebony is showing up brown in the pictures? but it is black
