Technique tutorials
Even if you are not into making rings, you will want to take a look through this series of tutorials by Bobrotermit (on Livejournal). His planning, carving, and especially his back-fill methods could lead you to do some experimenting with other forms if not with rings.
This ring was formed, carved and back-filled. All the designs are back-fill color, no painting or caning.
