Wood rings are a durable alternative to metal, and a great choice for people who are allergic or want to lessen their environmental impact. Most of the wood I use is reclaimed from hobbyists and wood shops, pieces that would otherwise be discarded because they are too small to do anything with. Some wood I collect from my neighborhood after a tree dies or a storm knocks it over. I season the wood myself using traditional methods, and craft each ring with meticulous care. I strive to make choices that honor the forest and keep them standing for a long time to come. That's why 10% of all profits are donated to the Rainforest Action Network.

Many wood and tagua nut rings are available for purchase. If you would like to place a custom order, these tips will guide you through the process.
