    All, I made a ring bending wood block from an old dog wood tree limb
    2.5 inches in diameter and 4 inches long that had dried for a couple
    of years.  First I drilled a one inch hole in the center about an
    inch deep.  This was followed by 4 other wood drills centered on the
    drill hole before it, each of different diameters and each about an
    inch in depth ending with a 1/2 inch hole.  I cut the limb in half
    giving me two blocks with half round impressions in very hard wood. 
    I've been using one of these for nearly 10 years and its still good. 
    I also flattened the other side of the block from the impressions for
    use as a wooden anvil. Makes a very useful tool. 

    Cheers from Don at The Charles Belle Studio in SOFL where simple
    elegance IS fine jewelry! dcdietz AT comcast.net
