What thickness do you tend to make your rings so they are not to brittle

[@benofalltrades]

Generally I shoot for 2-3mm sidewall thickness

Beautiful! What solvent did you use before gluing, and why?
And was that CA you used at the end before steel wool?

[@benofalltrades]

Sandro Tyr Warrick thanks for watching! I used acetone before the glue up because I'd heard ebony was oily and didn't take glue well, it's not a bad idea, but I no longer do this when I glue ebony and it still works for. And yes I used CA as the finish.

Some woods have oils that could affect the adhesion of the glue.
