MARS | Plum bentwood
About the wood
Plum has a beautiful dark red colour which can include a variety of streaks ranging from brown to purple. Plum trees don’t usually grow very tall and the wood commonly shows many defects which lead to the wood not being used for furniture. Mostly the wood is used for small objects such as wood turning projects.
Note that the colour of your ring may slightly vary from the ones pictured above making each ring truly unique.The bentwood technique explained
This ring is made by hand, using the bentwood technique. The wood is steamed and then bent around the circumference of the ring. The result of this process is a thin yet very strong ring. Note that there will always be a seam in every bentwood ring. This seam is more or less visible depending on the type of wood your ring is made of.
The rings finish
The ring is finished with a mix of CA and water-resistant varnish, giving it some extra shine and protection. The ring is protected against occasional soaking. I strongly recommend taking it off when showering, washing your hands, doing manual labour or during the night.
