WHISKEY | Solid Oak - Epoxy Resin

About the wood

Oak is one of the most widely used woods in Europe due to its large availability, high strength and moderate pricing. Oak wood has one of the best rot resistances of any type of wood found in Europe. To give this ring a special touch the Oak wood is split and then charred. The charred wood is then held together by a clear resin.
Note that the colour of your ring may slightly vary from the ones pictured above making each ring truly unique.

 

How the ring is made

First the Oak is split vertically to the grain. The split wood is then charred and filled with a transparent resin which makes it possible to capture the wood in a much more fragile state than it is commonly presented in. Finally, the ring is carved and shaped by hand from the mixture of wood and resin before taking it through the finishing process.

 

The rings finish

The ring is treated with several layers of water-resistant varnish. To maintain a very natural look and feel excess varnish is removed after each application. This way the ring is protected against occasional soaking while maintaining its natural feel and enhancing its colours. We strongly recommend taking it off when washing hands, dealing with chemicals or for manual labour though.
