For an beautiful jewelry item, how about this segmented wood bolo tie? The medallion is made from 24 segments of walnut and maple with a walnut center and walnut bolo finial tips. The renewable finish is beeswax and mineral oil. The design symbolizes a old west wagon wheel.
The metal clasp and cord is available at Tandy Leather Factory and other sources.
allen that was an awesome project. i hav e wanted to make one but was not sure how to do it. did you find that the finials might need some more weight?
Thanks Allen,, I was not expecting sush a quick reply on the bolo’s. I was thinking of a bolo with multi woods but had not thought of a segmented bolo. Thats neat; I really likedit. The individual I am going to give it to is from Idaho,(I live in Tennessee), and he likes his bolo ties. Much thanks.

My wife thinks they’d be appropriate for a woman also. Maybe a different medallion portion.
