Bonjour Mark

    I made several wood/silver rings on the same pattern. It is the same
    principle than tube rivets but wider. Depending on the quality and
    thikness of the wood (ebony being quite brittle) I use a 'double
    tube rivet'. 

    So silver is hammered onto silver and not hiting the wooden part.
    (... can't explain it better...I can send you a sketch of this
    offlist if you want) Make sure that your silver is very well
    annealed to prevent cracking when you'll spin or hammer it. You could
    also consider using fine silver for softness.
