Nice rings ! Are they multi-layer? Finished with CA ?

Very nice.

I used one strip of Vaneer each which is steamed then wrapped and glued. Then I sanded and finished with CA. One of them I wet sanded and the other I left the CA without sanding. Experimenting to see how and what works for me with what tools I have. It was fun and a change from pens. Thanks for liking them.
