Why not?

Unless you use an epoxy of some sort, they’re quite prone to breaking over time — I only used natural beeswax.

(Plus, quite a few broke while I was iterating on my technique…)

To be clear, this is one of the reasons my then-girlfriend wanted one, to ensure a speedy engagement!

If they are made by cutting a ring shape out of wood, the grain is too weak for long term wear.

I more common method for wooden rings is to cut a long thin rip at 1/16th”. Soak it water for 30 minutes. Wrap it around something finger size, put a rubber band around it and let it dry. You can get a good imitation of a glossy epoxy finish with CA/super glue. This gives a lot more strength than a cutout.

Why not just use epoxy? It’s pretty easy to work with.

Fingers change size, but wooden rings can't be stretched.

They can be sanded, just get a thick ring!
