gustav reyes: simply wood rings

Gustav Reyes salvages wood – from the neck of a violin, or a young boy’s baseball bat or the keys of a xylophone -  and skillfully transforms the wood into rings – wedding rings, engagement rings, anniversary rings, rings that celebrate nature, life, love. Sensitive to the history of each piece, Reyes’ strives to “bring out the warmth and the honesty of the wood.” He has two websites – you can find them here and here.

Come back late this afternoon for my final post of the week – see you then!

    These pieces looks fantastic! Wood and concrete together was a great twist :)

  2. These are absolutely wonderful–I love the history and the smashing design treatment–and of course, how does this apply to polymer clay…….??!!!
