I've been looking for 40-50 medium oak curtain rings for a 45mm pole (so
about 55mm ID) but, thus far, without success. I suspect they would be a
pain to DIY (turn the outside, bore the inside, slice, sand - repeat
until brain dead) and may not be particularly strong - does anyone know
how they're made commercially?

No. However, I would try steaming thin sheets, laminating them around a
cylindrical former, to make a cylinder of the right diameter, from which
the rings could be turned. It should be possible to turn them to almost
the finished shape before parting off.

If too light what about rubbing down and staining?

I know what sort of machine I would mass produce them on, but for
lathing, just make 'wheels and tyres' and then part off from the front
so the 'tyre' falls off...

Have you tried John Lewis?

Certainly our local one used to have a huge range / stock of such rings. I
recall seeing them while ‘killing time’ when Senior Management was browsing
the fabric / sewing stuff near there. The joys of shopping in Bluewater 😀

My google-foo seems to be working today - I hadn't thought of searching
for "unfinished" curtain rings. It doesn't tell me how they're made but
it means I don't have to make the things myself.

From experience of curtain rings that have broken when someone has
fallen against the curtain or children have grabbed the curtain as they
are running past, they are formed from about 8 short sections, glued end
to end in a circle.

How they make those sections, I don't know.

Quite a number look they are just turned from solid, so have weak areas
of cross grain.
