Notes from the Bench — May, 2022

Maker's Perspective

With this piece, I wanted to step back and let nature’s own geometry do the talking. Bird’s Eye Maple features these incredible, swirling "eyes" that create a natural pattern you simply couldn't replicate by hand. To make that figure stand out, we’ve weathered the wood using an iron sulphate solution. It’s a technique that reacts with the timber's natural tannins to create a permanent, warm grey—bringing a seasoned, silvered character to the grain without the use of artificial dyes.


The combination of this warm grey against the rose gold creates a soft palette, but the overall design remains bold. I love that contradiction. By keeping the metal edges extremely slim—just 0.5mm—and using a sharp, flat profile, the focus remains entirely on the wood and its unique, organic pattern.

The Northwood Difference

HAND-PICKED SAMPLES

We want you to have full confidence in your choice. On request, we will prepare a pack containing a ring sizer and up to five wood examples pulled from our collection. It allows you to see the warmth and texture of the materials before your ring is made.

Free within the UK, or for the cost of shipping elsewhere.

HONEST ADVICE

Our priority is matching you with the right ring, rather than simply making a sale. We offer straightforward, expert advice to ensure your choice suits your lifestyle. We want you to be happy with your ring for years to come, so we will always be honest about what works best for you.

BESPOKE MATERIALS

Every ring is handcrafted to order, which gives us the freedom to make it yours. If you have a specific wood species in mind or a custom inlay material you’d like us to use, we will always do our best to incorporate it into your design.

Built for a Lifetime

Why Bentwood Is Better


Most wooden rings are cut across the grain, making them brittle. We use a heritage "Bentwood" technique—steaming and hand-wrapping a single continuous strip of wood for unparalleled strength. It’s a slower process, but it ensures your ring is as resilient as it is beautiful.
