Answer 1

Pick a wood that will last a while, like Oak. You can get nice pieces of wood from hobby shops or hardware stores and cut them out with hole saws. After that, sand them down until you like the texture and thickness then coat them with linseed oil, polyurethane, or butcher's wax.
But make sure you're not allergic to those products...especially the oil. You might want to stain them first, too. Try a few, see what works.

This is a nice idea; mining gold is horrifically bad for the environment. Fields with some gold dust are covered with cyanide treatments to leech out the gold; everything else is laid to waste forever. Hardly the way to commemmorate a marriage.

Answer 2

While I love wood and the different types of wood, I would not want a wooden wedding ring. You would have to be constantly taking it off to wash your hands, take a shower, do dishes, etc. I would be so afraid of losing it someplace. With a metal ring, you wouldn't have that worry. Also they are thicker than metal rings, so for me, would not be as comfortable. But it is entirely up to you. If that's what you want, get it!

Answer 3

You can burn a hole in the wood there are different size rods to do this it want be easy because the size will be so small .I would get a vine and twist it or braid it and clean off the bark, sand it and and then varnish it .You could put sets on it .There are a lot of ways .
