Book excerpt: Making wooden rings is a fun and interesting hobby that anyone can learn fairly quickly, no matter if they have woodworking experience or not. The process requires very few tools, inexpensive materials, and just about everyone will be able to turn out a nice looking ring on their very first effort. Inside these pages are step by step instructions as well as photographic examples of over fifty rings, and more than 400 color images that describe every aspect of the process. This includes detailed chapters on wood selection, as well as basic construction methods, gluing, inlaying, shaping, and finishing. Each of these processes is described in detail, complete with pictures and explanations so that anyone can follow along and make an excellent looking ring. A wooden ring is more than just a piece of jewelry, it is a traditional item with historical and cultural significance. Wooden rings were some of the very first pieces of jewelry ever made, and they have a tradition that is almost as old as woodworking itself. Since the discovery of how to work precious metals, wooden ring making has become a forgotten art that only a few still practice today. With this book, anyone can make a truly beautiful and one of a kind ring that is a statement to craftsmanship and the time honored tradition of woodworking.

Download or read book Three Rings written by Daniel Mendelsohn and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2022-04-26 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A memoir, biography, work of history, and literary criticism all in one, this moving book tells the story of three exiled writers—Erich Auerbach, François Fénelon, and W. G. Sebald—and their relationship with the classics, from Homer to Mimesis. In a genre-defying book hailed as “exquisite” (The New York Times) and “spectacular” (The Times Literary Supplement), the best-selling memoirist and critic Daniel Mendelsohn explores the mysterious links between the randomness of the lives we lead and the artfulness of the stories we tell. Combining memoir, biography, history, and literary criticism, Three Rings weaves together the stories of three exiled writers who turned to the classics of the past to create masterpieces of their own—works that pondered the nature of narrative itself: Erich Auerbach, the Jewish philologist who fled Hitler’s Germany and wrote his classic study of Western literature, Mimesis, in Istanbul; François Fénelon, the seventeenth-century French archbishop whose ingenious sequel to the Odyssey, The Adventures of Telemachus—a veiled critique of the Sun King and the best-selling book in Europe for a hundred years—resulted in his banishment; and the German novelist W.G. Sebald, self-exiled to England, whose distinctively meandering narratives explore Odyssean themes of displacement, nostalgia, and separation from home. Intertwined with these tales of exile and artistic crisis is an account of Mendelsohn’s struggle to write two of his own books—a family saga of the Holocaust and a memoir about reading the Odyssey with his elderly father—that are haunted by tales of oppression and wandering. As Three Rings moves to its startling conclusion, a climactic revelation about the way in which the lives of its three heroes were linked across borders, languages, and centuries forces the reader to reconsider the relationship between narrative and history, art and life.
