It has been my practice, in my years selling rings made of bourbon barrel staves, to make the default option Jack Daniels® barrel oak. Indeed, before other sellers began...ah... practicing the sincerest form of flattery, this was the only option available, anywhere. Over the years customers have contacted me seeking a ring made with their favorite brand of whiskey, and they have even gone so far as to contact distilleries and source their own staves (something I invite you to do, if you want a completely personalized wood ring, or if you have some reason to doubt the provenance of my stock). They have always been very accommodating and enthusiastic. As a result, I have amassed barrel wood from many distilleries including Woodford Reserve, Maker's Mark, Buffalo Trace, Jim Beam, Angel's Envy, The Macallan, and finally Pappy Van Winkle. For more information (and some pictures) about this stock, check out this blog post on bourbon barrels.
The metal is Tantalum. It is a rare earth metal with a rich grey to bluish grey color. It is hard and durable, but it does not tarnish, corrode, or shatter. It is also hypoallergenic and bio-compatible.
Sizing
I highly recommend going to a jewelry counter to determine your size, even if you already know your size. "Do it yourself" ring sizing methods (string, etc.) should absolutely not be trusted. Be sure to be measured using the width you plan to order.
NOTE ON WIDTH:
The minimum width for this style is 5mm. The maximum is 8mm.
Recommended width is calculated in this way: Size 5 is 5mm wide. Width increases .5mm per size above that. So:
Size 5- 5mm
Size 6- 5.5mm
Size 7- 6mm
Size 8- 6.5mm
Size 9- 7mm
Size 10- 7.5mm
Size 11+ - 8mm
