That's really funny - I carved a ring for my missus on Sat night! As you say it was pretty easy just with a clipper and sand paper but I have to say you have the prize on aesthetics. Made mine out of green buddleia, all nice and symmetrical, fits the wife really well but looks like a Hula Hoop on her finger!

Looking to darken it now. I think the shape you used will greatly improve things also!

Very nice! I may have to try that sometime. What oil/wax do you suggest using though?

You'll know it as a wild rose with rosehips growing on it. It can grow to a pretty substantial size, I've seen loads in and around Sheffield that could be used to make a ring for Shrek!
