Wooden Gymnastic Rings - Complete(?)

Finally got those coats of spar varnish onto the rings. They are a little slippery but with gymnastic chalk the friction improves quite a bit. I've only did a couple pull-ups on them with a false grip (necessary for doing muscle-ups) and that was pretty tough, but then again, I haven't hung from a false grip or done muscle-ups in months. The upside is they probably won't tear your wrists up when transitioning down from the dip to the pull-up portion of the movement.

Regardless, the rings are gorgeous. I expect the surface texture to improve as they are used more. Voila:
