Bracelets

I was inspired to make bracelets as gifts for my wife and daughter this year and thought you might like to see the results. Each one is a two-layer affair, with the bottom layer getting the carving and the top layer merely acting as a frame. Here’s the one I made for my wife:

And here’s the one for my daughter. I gave hers and archery theme:

For those who may attempt something like this yourself, make it at least 1/2″ longer than you think it needs to be. Wrapping a measuring tape around the wrist doesn’t account for the thickness of the material, and you’ll end up being the wrong size. The one for my wife there is the MkII, and I’ll be re-making the one for my daughter as well for this reason.
